Two Years at Sea
Not quite what I thought this was going into it, wasn't exactly prepared for slow cinema but I'm coming out of it charmed. It's very nicely shot on 16mm and essential to the world it creates and the barrier it places between the world of this chiller and the rest of us. Cool portrayal of how we just aren't quite wired for his way of life, not much else.

Scotland prep #7

I too, one day, wish to achieve contented isolation.

Hot damn that grain!
