Sans Soleil 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. By making use of the correspondence between two imaginary characters, A freelance cameraman which travels the world and his sister, the movie enables a double narrative voice. A hybrid of doubt and explanation is presented by a narrative that guides the scenes on the screen - the next frame is not so much a sequence of its precedent but a continuity of what is being said. The film goes to the past but always anchored to the present of the reader. Marker’s movie poetically deals with the meaning of what is remembered and forgotten. It presents us with different conceptions of identity in multiple spaces which despite being extremely different share existence in time.
