In Description d’un Combat, Marker’s idiosyncratic style, combining location footage with archival material, builds a complex and personal portrayal. Israel’s demography is explored, from the kibbutzim to the Arab minorities, the orthodox Jews, and the tourists.
Named for a Kafka short story, this Chris Marker feature carries on in his usual mixed-media, scrapbook style. Deftly moving from one idea to another, exploring the communication between several simultaneous narratives, Marker leaves us with a whole ethnography of the young state of Israel.
