Science is Fiction: 23 Films by Jean Painleve (2009) Criterion Up...

The mesmerizing, utterly unclassifiable science films of Jean Painlevé (1902-89) have to be seen to be believed: delightful, surrealist-influenced dream works that are also serious science. The French filmmaker-scientist-inventor had a decades-spanning career in which he created hundreds of short films on subjects ranging from astronomy to pigeons to, most famously, such marine-life marvels as the sea horse and the sea urchin. This definitive three-disc collection brings together the best of these, and also includes the French television series Jean Painlevé Through His Films and rock band Yo La Tengo's eight-film score The Sounds of Science IMDB Code:TITLE...........: Science Is Fiction: 23 Films by Jean Painlevé DIRECTOR........: Jean Painlevé GENRE...........: Documentary TOMATOMETER.....: 83 IMDB SCORE......: 7.6 IMDB LINK.......: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1801090 RUNTIME.........: 5h 13mn SIZE............: 13.1 GB VIDEO CODEC.....: HEVC (Main10@L4) BITRATE.........: ~5500 Kbps (CRF) RESOLUTION......: 1080p (Upscaled) ASPECT RATIO....: 1.33:1 FRAMERATE.......: 24 fps AUDIO1..........: French AC3 1.0 192kbps AUDIO2..........: Soundtrack by Yo La Tengo (Popular Films 1-8) SUBTITLES.......: ENG SOURCE..........: Criterion DVD ENCODE DATE.....: 2025-10-15 • Popular Films - Hyas and Stenorhynchus (1929) - Sea Urchins (1954) - How Some Jellyfish Are Born (1960) - Liquid Crystals (1978) - The Sea Horse (1934) - The Love Life of the Octopus (1965) - Shrimp Stories (1964) - Acera or the Witches' Dance (1972) - The Vampire (1945) - Freshwater Assassins (1947) - Sea Ballerinas (1956) - Diatoms (1968) - Pigeon in the Square (1982) * Optional soundtrack by Yo La Tengo on Films 1-8 • Early Popular Silent Films - Octopus (1927) - Sea Urchins (1928) - Daphnia (1928) • Silent Research Films - The Stickleback's Egg (1925) - Experimental Treatment of a Hemorrhage in a Dog (1930) • Films for Le Palais de la Découverte (1937) - The Fourth Dimension - The Struggle for Survival - Voyage to the Sky - Similarities Between Length and Speed • Bluebeard (1936) • Interview with Yo La Tengo • Jean Painlevé Through His Films (1989)
