Deep Water

I watched this documentary last night on a big screen and I was *bawling*. I mean driving home on the 101 and sobbing! It's a very very good documentary, throughout, but the end is masterful. I was particularly impressed by the gale footage -- I'm going to look into how they got those shots -- and the footage of England in the 60s. I had never imagined it to have been so drab. Robin Knox-Johnston has always been a hero of mine ("Sea, Ice and Rock" having been one of the first books I ever read in English), but I now have a minor crush on the Frenchman Moitessier, as well. I'm watching every documentary this director has made.
