Altamar

About This Movie

Altamar is a deep dive into the life of Elí, a fisherman whose body bears the scars of his relentless work at sea. It's not your typical documentary; it captures the gritty reality of a life spent battling the elements. The pacing feels almost meditative, with long, contemplative shots that let the audience soak in the atmosphere of the ocean and the toll it takes on those who dare to face it. There's this strange, almost spiritual connection Elí has with the sea, juxtaposed with the harshness of his reality. The cinematography beautifully highlights the raw beauty of the ocean, making it a character in itself. You get a real sense of isolation, but also of refuge as Elí finds solace in the waves, making it distinctive in the documentary landscape.
