DocHouse: Leviathan
All aboard a hulking great fishing trawler for a murky and visceral ride
Who knew the world of commercial fishing could be so fraught? The high pressure world of living at sea comes to a head, as man, fish, bird, and machine battle with each other and the elements. Lucien Castaing-Taylor, director of Sweetgrass, roves over stark seascape with lush cinematography. This is a sensory experience, immersing the viewer in one of the world’s oldest trades. A classic documentary in the making. Best available seating. Under 12s must be accompanied by an adult."...[fashions] the natural world into the ultimate expressionistic accomplishment."
