Life's a Beach

About This Movie

So, 'Life's a Beach' is quite an interesting documentary from 2015. It dives into the life of Mungo, who, after a mishap with his boat, finds himself stranded at Folkestone Warren. The pacing is decidedly slow, which fits the contemplative vibe of the film—there’s no rush to get to the next adventure. The way he constructs his cottage from driftwood and found objects is fascinating, showcasing human resilience. The atmosphere is really raw and honest, and there’s a certain charm in Mungo’s reflections on living simply. It’s not your typical documentary, more of a meditative look at an alternative lifestyle. The practical effects are just life itself, unfiltered and real, which adds to its unique quality.
