Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for sports fans (and people who swear they aren't) and people who love a true story told well. You don't need to know the game to feel the big moments.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 9 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1931: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Short documentary directed by Jean Vigo about the French swimmer Jean Taris. The film is notable for the many innovative techniques that Vigo uses, including close ups and freeze frames of the swimmer's body.
