Sinekatalog’s take
Chris Marker's essay-film follows a woman designing a video game about the 1945 battle of Okinawa and talking to her dead lover. Thoughtful and haunting, it is a pioneering meditation on memory, war and the digital age.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
