«Sans soleil»
Marker himself is often quoted with a remark from Sans Soleil, made by the character of Yamaneko, the computer expert: images simply want to be what they are, »that is, pictures.«
Marker himself published the scripts of his early films under the title «Commentaires.» Nevertheless, practically everyone who analyzes these commentaries feels obliged to point out that the voice only seldom actually comments upon what is being shown in the pictures.
