A woman dressed elegantly walks purposely through the water gardens at the Villa d'Este in Tivoli, as the music of Vivaldi's "Winter" movement of "The Four Seasons" plays. Heavy red filters give a blue cast to the light; water plays across stone, and fountains send it into the air. No words are spoken. Baroque statuary and the sensuous flow of water are back lit.

Leave your thoughts about Eaux d'Artifice.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe most aesthetically pleasing of Anger's shorts. |
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostRousing look at fountains, stairways and the geometry of flowing water. |
| User ReviewPavandeep SI loved the way Anger shot this, especially the water, it is set in an old-fashioned manner but you would never realized it and probably miss how sometimes the jet of water is set up with source and the source of the outpour is lost and more jets appear and create a sublime imagery where you get hypnotized into. |
| User ReviewEdgar CWonderful artistic contribution. Whenever Anger is criticized for his lack of ability to satisfy narrow-minded critics and viewers, they can be shown this tasteful glass of champagne. Why? Because even if they do not like champagne, they perfectly know it's a classy and reknowned drink. Anger wins. 99/100 |
| User ReviewDiane WBeautiful imagery. Constant movement of water and fountains, with light glowing on and within. |
| User ReviewDonovan DThis is one of my least favorite Anger films. Unlike his other films - that are either autobiographically homo-erotic or mythapoeic masterworks of Occult filmmaking, Eaux d'artifice may be well made, but it never really goes anywhere. |
| User ReviewAaron WIt gives water - the ultimate purifier - an image of senseless evil and "artifice". |
| User ReviewMasorad (Certainly one of the higher-caliber dancing water shows. Could benefit from being shown on some surface other than a projection screen. Perhaps a wall of steam. |
| User ReviewDavid SA Marie Antoinette-type character walks around an incredible outdoor array of fountains located in Tivoli, Italy. The film image: tinted blue. The soundtrack: Vivaldi. Spurting water everywhere, and lots of grimacing gargoyles. At a mere 12 minutes, the film doesn't wear out its welcome. Lovely. |
| User ReviewKen SKenneth Anger's short blue tinted film showing a French Aristocrat type wandering around a Garden of Fountains with lots of flowing and bubbling water...the images are quite hypnotic. It is an interesting experimental film with a lot of beautiful images in it's short running time. |
