"How likely I'll survive? Oh yeah, 100% if I were a rat"
In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi, we explore a more psychological side of the time travel subgenre.
First we discuss Je T'aime, Je T'aime (1968), Alain Resnais' experimental sci-fi film about a time-travel experiment that traps a man inside fragmented memories of his past.
Then we look at The Jacket (2005), the dark sci-fi thriller starring Adrien Brody as a Gulf War veteran who experiences visions of the future during a controversial psychiatric treatment.
Together these films show how time travel stories can explore memory, trauma and the mysteries of human consciousness.
Journey Through Sci-Fi explores the history of science-fiction cinema one subgenre at a time.
Follow the show for deep dives into sci-fi classics, cult favourites and the ideas that shaped the genre.
