Darke’s crucial argument pertaining to the film’s animation commences with his fascinating find of a single-frame ‘word-flicker’ play that occurs less than thirty seconds into the film. During the opening credits, for a micro-instant resonant with the smart humour of another of Marker’s long-time friends, Agnès Varda, the film replaces the word ‘Recherche’ (searching) in ‘Avec la participation du Service de la Recherche de la RTF,’ with ‘Trouvaille’ (finding) (27). Darke contends that this witty flash-movement affords a ‘subliminal signal of the “truquage” [special effect] to come’ (27), namely the moment of the awakening, while this replacement also signals to works by André Breton, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst and others that discover art in the aleatory and quotidian. Repeatedly, Darke terms Marker a bricoleur ‘whose films incorporate all manner of material,’ and whose La Jetée serves as an ‘“echochamber” for the trouvailles Marker found’ (29).
