Jean Vigo is a great example of a young filmmaker who died very young and is adored today by cinema freaks. While the body of his work is minuscule (only four films), in some circles he's considered a genius--even though only one of his films ("L'Atalante") was full-length. And, two of his other three shorts are more experimental films than anything else. I frankly don't quite get his reputation, but for fans of this writer/director, Criterion has released a DVD with all four of his films.
"Taris" is an odd little film about the French swimming champion, Jean Taris. In some ways this is an art film--with very unusual camera angles and composition. And, in other ways, it's a rather dull 'how to' film--one that shows the viewers how to swim like Taris--as he demonstrates various strokes, breathing, turns and the like. It's not at all a film the average person would enjoy or even look for in the first place. However, as I said above, film buffs who adore Vigo would be happy to see this--even if it is not the most exciting film I've ever seen (far from it, actually). Competently made, rather dull but full of exciting camera work.
