A Custom of the Sea is a fascinating dive into the history of Porto Maurizio, woven together with rich visuals and a contemplative tone. The film artfully juxtaposes the quiet beauty of this Ligurian village with tales of its past, particularly the menacing presence of Muslim pirates. What stands out is how it captures the local memory, almost like a personal diary of sorts, with a pacing that invites you to linger on each scene. There's a real sense of nostalgia, underscored by the director's unique perspective as someone who grew up there yet now views it from afar. The practical effects are subtle but effective, creating an immersive atmosphere that makes you feel the weight of history in these coastal streets.
