The score for this film was commissioned from the French pioneer of musique concrète, Pierre Henry; and Henry’s sonorities are delicately matched to the action transpiring on the screen. If only a small part of The Love Life of the Octopus is devoted to the inconceivable erotica of amorous octopi, through the fluid grace of an eight-arm embrace and the silken glance of an inscrutably bulbous eye those sequences are rendered genuinely erotic. – Jim Knox
