The Little Mermaid
Menace Ruine is an apocalyptic drone folk band. Geneviève Beaulieu and S. de la Moth agreed to curate a carte blanche film selection, which will be presented ahead of their concert at the Cinémathèque on October 30. Their eclectic and thought-provoking selection blends films by renowned directors with hidden gems, avoiding American cinema to better celebrate the richness of international filmmaking.
A little mermaid saves a prince from drowning. In love with him, she makes a pact with a witch: in exchange for her beautiful voice, she can live on earth and hope to marry the man she loves. But the prince is still haunted by the memory of a princess who found him on the beach and whom he believes to be his savior... An adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale of the same name.

He made his most celebrated movies with a screenwriter Jan Procházka in a relatively free period in the 1960s. After the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia and in subsequent Normalization period, his politically critical movies Long Live the Republic!, Coach to Vienna, The Nun's Night and The Ear were banned. From the 1970s he directed mostly historical movies focused on the lives of regular people, and children movies.
