The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau: Sunken Treasure (1969) is the historical scaffolding of departure for this film, an amalgam of ships’ logs from the deep sea and deep space. Piloting a boat into the void of a subterranean water cave in Central Europe or sinking deep under the Adriatic Sea in scuba gear, the camera sees as if for the first time. Images become untethered from time or geography as a narrator guides us in a journey of exploration that circles back to our own desire for the search.
