The award-winning La Puppe has charmed festival audiences nationwide. A hilarious parody and loving homage to Chris Marker's classic short "La Jetee" (1962), this film is a must-see for fans of the original and an equal delight for the uninitiated. The short is also a tale of loss, fate and man's reckless appetite for self-destruction—but with more jokes. Not to be missed is the tour-de-force performance given by MARTY, the patriarch of the French New Wave Plush-Toy movement and still one of the leading inanimate objects working in film today.

LA PUPPÉ
Written & Directed by Timothy Greenberg
Music by Veigar Margeirsson
Released on December 15, 2003

Watch at IFC (click to go)

[not a true live-action film, but then again, not really in way form can it be classified as an animated feature.
I liken it to the broadest of terms, a short (and sweet) subject.]
