Our take
Painlevé shot more than two hundred films over sixty years, on a broad gamut of interesting phenomena, but often with a fondness for marine life. Shrimp Stories is one of these: goofy, exploratory fishing for shrimp uncovers a mystery underworld beneath the sea, animated to music by Pierre Conté.
