LA FONTAINE D'ARÉTHUSE

Directed by Dimitri Kirsanoff
France, 1936
Short, Avant-Garde

Synopsis

La Fontaine d’Aréthuse opens with what has been described as a “shimmering wash of sound in the piano, octave leaps in the left hand passing above and below repeated chords in the right,” a tune which apparently suggests the splashing waters of a fountain.
