A comparative study of biology, locomotion and the reproductive techniques of the Brittle Star (closely related to the Starfish). Elegant musical evolutions.
A poetic study of movement beneath the waves, Les Danseuses de la Mer transforms sea urchins and brittle stars into ethereal performers. Using underwater cinematography far ahead of its time, Jean Painlevé films these slow, hypnotic creatures with the eye of a surrealist, revealing their strange elegance and silent choreography. The film is both scientific observation and marine ballet—a celebration of life forms that seem to float between science and dream.
