As movie trends go, this is a great one: the adrenalized nature-meets-adventure documentary.
, an adventure doc of a different stripe but just as besotted with the beauty of the natural world. I’d put another recent climbing movie meets character study,from 2005 as a forebearer, and then try exciting Thai-cave-rescue doc too, a politically charged account of the conflict between Brazilian loggers and the indigenous Uru-eu-wau-wau people who live in the Amazon. All of the above are streaming; an adventure-film festival awaits! Fire up your biggest, highest-definition TV.
Equipped with a wet suit, headlamp, monofin, and only the air they can hold in their lungs, a free diver plunges downward, swimming straight into the depths along a rope. We see Zecchini’s attempt at a world-record dive at the start of the film, and the footage has spooky majesty: Her lithe form swims down into the lightless reaches of the sea, and then when the buoyancy in her lungs has been neutralized by pressure, the free fall begins.
Free diving is so dangerous, with divers so prone to blackouts as they ascend, that a team of safety divers must be on hand to assist. And these safety divers themselves have to free dive since scuba equipment would prevent the safety crew from ascending with the speed required for a rescue. And finally a successful record dive can only be recorded if the athlete ascends without help and reaches the surface with her full consciousness intact.
How fascinating it is learning such things. The recent wealth of niche sporting reality series has acquainted us all with the delights of discovering a new sport from the inside out.marries that experience with the older-fashioned pleasures of romance. The film’s love story is between Zecchini and the Irish safety diver Stephen Keenan, a noble loner who establishes a free-dive training facility in Dahab, Egypt, and pines for attachment.
The film is addictive and alarming, fascinated as it is with athletic obsession . Zecchini is determined to do the most dangerous world-record dives; she’s hypercompetitive and runs toward risk. Tragedy, when it comes, is all but inevitable.Sign Up Now
