It blows... down the mountain to the sea


The Mistral (1966)

Directed by Joris Ivens this short film is narrated by Roger Pigaut. We follow the wind from the mountain tops to the coast.

For me this was just a bit too arty but there is certainly something of interest here as the film captures something of the land and the people that live on it. I found this a little on the long side and the narration too obscure for my taste. No doubt some will find this enjoyable but others a bit on the frustrating side.

3/5
