# Sans Soleil (1983)

1983 · 100 min · Documentary · France

Original title: Sans soleil

## Synopsis

Sans Soleil is a 1983 French documentary film directed by Chris Marker. It is a meditation on the nature of human memory, showing the inability to recall the context and nuances of memory, and how, as a result, the perception of personal and global histories is affected. The title Sans Soleil is from the song cycle Sunless by Modest Mussorgsky, a brief fragment of which features in the film. Sans Soleil is composed of documentary footage shot by Marker interwoven with stock footage, clips from Japanese movies and shows, and excerpts and stills from other films.
