Voilà enfin le film de Cousteau et Malle, oscarisé et palme d'Or en 1956 à Cannes, édité en DVD et Blu-ray au niveau de qualité qu'il mérite, qui plus est pour la première fois avec des suppléments !! Tout d'abord le travail de restauration qui a été accompli sur le film est absolument bluffant. Et les suppléments sont inédits, donc intéressants aussi pour ceux qui connaissent le film par coeur.Un documentaire de 50 minutes en HD sur la production du film intitulé « du Silence et des hommes : les pionniers du Monde du Silence ». Le documentaire s'intéresse à la première rencontre entre Louis Malle, alors élève à l'IDHEC et le Commandant Cousteau, le défi technique et humain du film, la Palme d'or à Cannes, la polémique autour du film, qui apparut quelques années plus tard, et les différends au montage entre Malle et Cousteau sur la tonalité globale du film etc.
