series Chris Marker
Directed by Chris Marker | 1996
With Catherine Belkhodja, Nagisa Oshima, Kenji Tokitsu
"A passionate and cerebral science-fiction adventure... playful, ruminative and melancholy."
—The New York Times
Marker’s shock-to-the-senses mind-melter concerns a woman (Belkhodja) haunted by the loss of her lover while working on programming a video game about World War II’s Battle of Okinawa. Melding retro-futuristic sci-fi imagery, references to American film noir, and reflections on traumas in Japanese history into a visually and philosophically provocative puzzle, Level Five is a hallucinatory visual essay on memory, tragedy, and early digital culture.
