"Before Attenborough and Cousteau, there was Painlevé, the French pioneer of underwater revelation. Jean Painlevé trained as a scientist, but he came of age as Surrealism exploded in Paris and was soon closely involved with its rebellious spirit. In 1925 he made the first of nearly 200 scientific films, all of which are marked by a playful black humor and a rare sense of nature's hidden poetry. This selection from fifty years of passionate scientific enquiry includes all of Painlevé's most famous films." (Covertext) Mathusalem (1926, b&w, 10 min.
