Directed by Chris Marker
Marker trains his camera on two irresistibly intriguing personalities in these documentary portraits. In French with English subtitles.
The Koumiko Mystery (1965)
Run time: 54min
Shot during the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, this entrancing essay film is a portrait of both a beguiling woman, whom Marker meets by chance, and the city itself, captured in a rush of neon and pop-culture ephemera.
Matta (1985)
Run time: 17min
Chilean surrealist Roberto Matta enthusiastically guides Marker through his dreamscape-like paintings and ideas about art in this insightful profile of a seminal artist.
