Moon's Pool (1973)

Directed by Gunvor Nelson

Short

Overview

The film that is mostly shot underwater, in a pool, begins with footage of water and a close-up of Nelson from which we move to her body immersed in water in a bath-tub from which yet another transition occurs to a pool with male and female naked bodies swimming underwater. The latter part of the film is almost totally liberated from speech, and has a dreamlike, complex soundtrack consisting of sounds of waves, voices, water and music woven together into a seamless web of sounds.

Viewing Notes

Beautifully shot underwater short film by Gunvor.  I like the haunting voice-over effect but wish there had been a score to match to the fluidity of the photography and human form on display.
