Sans Soleil & Total Recall (with Joe MacDonald)

Jake Season 3 Episode 7

Returning champion Joe MacDonald joins us in the basement as we look at the intersection of memory and technology, the past and the future.

Sans Soleil (1983) Chris Marker's galaxy-brained video essay moves from Africa to Japan as the french filmmaker pontificates on a range of topics, particularly how tech has shaped our relationship to memory.

Total Recall (1990)  Dutch maverick Paul Verhoeven loosely adapts Philip K Dick's 'We Can Remember It For You Wholesale', in the processing creating both an entertaining Arnold vehicle and a typically subversive examination of America's fantasies.
