| User ReviewJoel AA largely unknown French Short film made by French Cinema Pioneer Jean Epstein. The story of young woman concerned for her partner heading off to sea with the concern of a storm looming. As the storm approaches she sorts after a local mystic who is known to be able to calm the wind & water. Although extremely beautiful this film is quite haunting & truly has some of the most incredible shots of the wind & waves at work & the shows the ocean in such a menacing light. It's an artistic piece but quite compelling. |
