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."-- Container. 538 VHS NTSC. 650 0 Underwater cinematography. 650 0 Surrealism in motion pictures. 655 7 Personal/independent works.|2mim 655 7 Shorts.|2mim 655 7 Scientific works (Nonfiction).|2mim 690 0 French films. 700 1 Painlevé, Jean. 710 2 Connoisseur Video (Firm) 710 2 British Film Institute. 710 2 Argos Films. 935 GLADN17763782 941 0 PFA 0500-01-9625.
