I haven't heard of this film, but a quick search on the Internet Movie 
Database reveals that I wrote a summary...wait a minute! It wasn't me, but 
jhailey at hotmail.com. Mr/Ms Hailey, I salute you!

And Dave (if I may be so informal) your reference to Chris Marker reminds me 
to recommend his documentaries Sans Soleil (very interesting), and more 
relevant to Pynchon, Level 5, which could easily have been inspired by an 
extended reading of Gravity's Rainbow. Veeeeery difficult film which 
virtually forces the viewer to re-evaluate previously held notions of 'the 
documentary'.
