Commentaire à la une
A metaphysical fantasy about a ship with a crew of blind men. According to the translator of 'Le Navire aveugle':
"... apart from occasional verbal emendations, I have, as studiously as M. Barreyre himself, kept free from maritime technicalities. As to the author's conception of discipline in the British mercantile marine and the hysteria and lack of self-control which our seamen habitually display in moments of crisis, I have a suspicion that in an original and suppressed version the 'Sea-Shine' flew another flag than 'Iles-Britanniques.' and that her crew belonged to a more sensitive and sentimental race."
The following is the translation from which this excerpt of the Foreword is made:
Barreyre, Jean : The blind ship / translation and foreword by Beckles Wilson. - London : T. Fisher Unwin Ltd, [1926]
In lieu of a sight of the film itself - which must remain an unlikely prospect for any ordinary cineaste - the above volume is readily obtainable in major libraries and from second-hand booksellers, most of whom have Websites. There also exists a French film tie-in with 16 full page b&w plates from the film. See: BookFinder.com [French].
