BECOMING COUSTEAU IS PLAYING AT THE SMITH RAFAEL FILM CENTER
“Becoming Cousteau will well serve as a reminder and clarifier for those who remember him from their youth, and an invigorating introduction for those meeting him for the first time.”
DEADLINE, Todd McCarthy
“A wonderfully intimate portrait of the legendary oceanographer.”
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, Frank Scheck
“Becoming Cousteau is a delight of sensual images. You can almost feel the salt drying on everyone’s skin.”
THE PLAYLIST, Chris Barsanti
“Becoming Cousteau is a dazzling dive into the depths of an undersea world.”
INDIEWIRE, Kristen Lopez
Adventurer, filmmaker, inventor, author, unlikely celebrity and conservationist: For over four decades, Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his explorations under the ocean became synonymous with a love of science and the natural world. As he learned to protect the environment, he brought the whole world with him, sounding alarms more than 50 years ago about the warming seas and our planet’s vulnerability. In BECOMING COUSTEAU, from National Geographic Documentary Films, two-time Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker LIZ GARBUS takes an inside look at Cousteau and his life, his iconic films and inventions, and the experiences that made him the 20th century’s most unique and renowned environmental voice — and the man who inspired generations to protect the Earth. Rated PG Director: Liz Garbus (US 2021) 94 min.
