I've seen this thing a few times over the years. Saw it in 16mm in the days before home video and I saw it on VHS and on streaming video. But seeing it now on the Criterion Channel is the first time I've seen a good print of it.
Now I'm sitting here watching what I guess was an educational film by the same director, Jean Vigo, showing French swimming champion Jean Taris demonstrating different swimming techniques. Ten minutes, 1931. His swimsuit could have been a bit more modest. Ends with a surrealist flourish.
