How Deep Is the Ocean is a reflective piece, capturing the essence of a Taiwanese tribesman named Tao. It’s not your typical documentary; it feels more like a personal journey than a straightforward narrative. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the viewer to soak in the subtleties of Tao's life and the rich textures of Lanyu culture. The director’s relationship with Tao adds layers of intimacy and vulnerability, making the film resonate on a human level. Practical effects are minimal, yet the authenticity of the environment and communities portrayed really pulls you in. There’s an almost poetic atmosphere that permeates the film, making it distinctive in its approach to storytelling. It’s a quiet exploration of identity and connection that lingers long after the credits roll.
