Gray,
Assuming you don't mind me piggybacking on your topic... (
)
For those in the Vancouver area in two weeks time, the Cinematheque has a very rare screening of Cousteau's (and Louis Malle's), The Silent World.
"Louis Malle was just 23 when he was asked by author and undersea explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau to help make a film that could act as an illustrated companion to Cousteau's immensely popular book also entitled The Silent World. In fact, the popularity and impact of the film proved even greater, garnering an Oscar for Best Documentary and the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. A lyrical meditation on the mysteries of the physical world, and on humankind's tentative steps to explore them, the film follows Cousteau and his crew as they navigate the oceans; the underwater cinematography, much of it shot by Malle himself, is simply breathtaking, the brilliantly colored coral reefs serving as a stationary counterpoint to the teeming schools of sea life whizzing past them ... This masterwork [has been] long unavailable" (Film Society of Lincoln Center). "Surely the most beautiful and fascinating documentary of its sort ever filmed ... The only trouble with the whole thing is it makes you want to strap on an Aqua-Lung and go!" (Bosley Crowther, New York Times). Colour, DVD, in French with English subtitles. 86 mins."

No problem Annasea with the hijack. I'm almost tempted to drive up there for one of the showings.
