I'm gonna say Bend It Like Beckham. Reason being, William of Ockham's [Occam's razor] could be a dangerous tool; best not wield it too enthusiastically lest one cut oneself.

Jacques Cousteau?

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Jacques Cousteau for his role at the beginning of Louis Malle's career.

Although French director Louis Malle began working around the same time as Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut, he doesn’t properly belong with the French New Wave. Firstly, unlike most of the filmmakers of the movement, Malle did attend film school – in fact, that’s where he got his first big break, when he was chosen among the students of the prestigious school now known as La Fémis to be co-director on Jacques Cousteau’s The Silent World (1955). With its groundbreaking use of undersea cinematography, the film went on to win both the best documentary feature Oscar and the Palme d’Or.
