The Silent World (French: Le Monde du silence) is a 1956 French documentary film co-directed by Jacques Cousteau and Louis Malle. One of the first films to use underwater cinematography to show the ocean depths in color,[1][2] its title derives from Cousteau's 1953 book The Silent World: A Story of Undersea Discovery and Adventure.
