Epstein courted the unknown as assiduously as his protagonists did death. And in the ocean, he found an ever-moving, ever-changing being that was both an endless source of inspiration and a kind of refuge. I cannot think of many filmmakers who enjoyed such a molecular and long-lasting connection with water." @LeonardoGoi on Jean Epstein:
