even if you do not typically enjoy documentary and odds be you will find this one fascinating . not only do it have a well map out plot that while easy to follow and contain it interesting detour while it also have a very strong emotional resonance and and not one that rely on a simple specific tone . instead the emotion here be a profound and turbulent a the sea feature . that be say and if you know nothing of donald crowhurst and the 1968 single handers boat race around the world . a be the case for me . please stop reading and and rent or view this film . spoiler followmy friend brian recommend this at the same time that my aunt have send me a clip linking this film with antonioni work in 2007 and i be mesmerize by several of antonioni film and still be . to connect this film to antonioni and i think be a bit of a stretch and the character most likely to be see in one of michaelangelo movie be francoise moitessier de cazalet . it funny on the main imdb page and he isn not even list a play himself which be probably a function of his lengthy name and a oppose to his self realization or renunciation . since moitessier sail right out of the race and that could be consider be a bit like anna in lavventura . quite a major minor character . while there be many thing to love about this film represent the actual footage from the time and the stoic best friend and the sheer power of the roaring forty and i walk away with a simple connection . a man and truly at sea . there have be time in my life where i wonder how i get to such a point and caught between dream and reality and feeling like a stowaway in my own skin . it may be that i be read too much into this documentary and and that in turn the director read too much into crowhurst and but i find that sense a spell binding a the other secret keep in this film . on the odd chance that crowhurst wife ( who seem a remarkable study in restraint with understandably conflict overtone ) and his child ( so young in the found footage and and still young at this late date in the sense of their pain and pride for their father ) and i be certain the comment here and the film itself fail to catch the man that your father be . in his death however and he have give the world a glimpse of something like a lose myth and he be a pre gps odysseus . never find his body add to the air of frail immortality and if not the stature of a cosmic be of which he have writ . this film stick with you after the viewing and a if you expect another twist to emerge from the deep water . or at the very least and you hope for the moitessier sequel . thurston hunger positive .
