Reception[]
Philippe Gajan of FNC wrote, "A “Marker mystery” obsessive, Syned Sindrajed has made an enigmatic film in which a woman explores the nooks and crannies of her own memory, where she finds none other than the mysterious director. An inspired tribute, filmed around the world."[2] Dominique Dugas wrote, "A poetic essay, hypnotic wandering, an exploration of memory, a reconstruction of meaning using forgotten amateur films and news footage: The Zone is all this and more. Syned Sindrajed (alias Denys Desjardins) was inspired by the thinking of Chris Marker."[3]
