Christopher B 10/15/2022 At only 9 minutes in length, its the shortest of Jean Vigo's four works and yet he applies as many, if not more filming techniques here in this short time. Some of the best are his reversing diving shots and underwater slow motion captures. Vigo's skill is apparently and takes something as ordinary as an Olympic swimmer demonstrating swimming techniques and elevates it to art that is captivating and visually alluring! Taris makes you want to take a camera and film just as much as it makes you want to jump in a pool. See more 07/26/2018 Of the four films Jean Vigo made, this is the least political. It's a 10 minute documentary that is ostensibly a swimming instructional film starring championship swimmer Jean Taris, but in Vigo's hands it's a beautiful little piece of art with some wonderful underwater photography. See more 04/29/2017 Taris is one Jean Vigo's best films. See more 09/18/2015 Taris is not for many people. It is a film that was brilliantly shot, but it is also a nine-minute film about learning how to swim. Take it for what it is worth. See more 06/13/2015 Jean Vigo was commissioned to direct this documentary short on French swimming champion Jean Taris. You get the sense he is learning his craft with the film, there are some interesting stylistic shots, including underwater shots that you normally wouldn't see in a documentary of this type. It's short and worth a watch for film enthusiasts. See more 03/20/2015 http://filmreviewsnsuch.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-complete-works-of-jean-vigo.html See more Read all reviews
