From a future destroyed by plague, a prisoner “volunteers” to be sent back in time to fetch pre-infection samples.

A great movie that stands apart both from its contemporaries and even from movies of today. It touches upon a lot of topics I find interesting in movies.

• Inspired by La Jetée – (1962 movie), written by Chris Marker
• See also 12 Monkeys – (2015 show)
• TODO – watch with the commentary

• TODO – At the end of the making-of is a secret menu and more stuff.
