The Fountain of Arethusa

1936 · 6 min Music Fantasy
5.8 / 10 · TMDB

“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. The story “told” by the music involves a naked water goddess on the river shore, who is pursued by a hunter, before disappearing into thin air to join her water once again.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Fountain of Arethusa has mixed reviews with a rating of 5.8/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1936. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
