- Synopsis:
- Before David Attenborough and Jacques Cousteau - there was Jean Painlev. Poetic pioneer of science films, Painlev explored a twilight realm of vampire bats, seahorses, octopi, and liquid crystals. In collaboration with his life-partner, Genevive Hamon, Painlev made more than 200 science and nature films and was an early champion of the genre. This selection from 50 years of passionate scientific enquiry includes his most famous films - The Sea Horse, The Vampire, The Love Life of the Octopus and Sea Urchins - with their often-amazing music.
