Description:

See the Sea is less than an hour long, but offers a full study in quiet menace. A mother and her infant daughter are vacationing at a lonely seaside resort. As they doze on the beach, backpacker Tatiana silently watches them from a cliff top and soon the trouble begins. See the Sea is all the creepier because it never leaves the realm of reality. Director François Ozon is beautifully restrained--he keeps the tension rising without ever going overboard or driving his characters into caricature. It's the tiny things that Tatiana does that give you the shivers. This edition of See the Sea, which is in French with English subtitles, also includes "A Summer Dress," a short film by Ozon. It also has a seaside theme, but is much lighter fare. --Ali Davis
