Courted by a naval officer in a smoky dockside bar, a young woman, driven by her imagination, finds herself already sailing to distant lands. She expects an invitation that will not come, her companion thinks that she is married.
Germaine Dulac is the first grande dame of French cinema and played a key role in the development of French avant-garde cinema of the 1920’s. A versatile, daring filmmaker, she worked in the context of French Impressionism and Surrealism. Her goal was ‘pure-cinema’, free from the influence of literature and theatre.
Dulac was fascinated by movement and attempted to create a style she dubbed ‘the integral film’, a visual symphony made of images. In precisely composed settings, transitions, and associative montages Dulac opens the subjective world of its protagonists devising sophisticated cinematic tricks that would later be adopted by the likes of Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel.
