“With the former film inspiring a plethora of homages (most notably, Gilliam’s Twelve Monkeys) and the latter spawning a style of free-form cinema diary that would later be evoked in films by Agnès Varda and Jonathan Caouette, among many others, Marker’s role as a pioneer in the latter half of the 20th century is hardly arguable.”
