Interesting facts

Year of the Nail is a 2007 Mexican film written and directed by Jonás Cuarón. The film is told entirely through still photographs that the director took of his real life over the course of a year.

Production

Jonás Cuarón was introduced to Chris Marker's film La Jetée, which famously consists almost exclusively of still photographs, by his then-girlfriend Eireann Harper. He was inspired to create a film in such a way and set out to do so. He began documenting everyday events in his life through photography, taking pictures of his friends and family, with the intention of putting them together after a year and making a story out of them.
