Seasick

About This Movie

Seasick (2021) is this raw, almost visceral documentary that really digs into the messy relationship between humanity and the chaos of the natural world. The way they use improvised singing is fascinating—it’s like a desperate attempt to bridge the gap between those of us sitting comfortably at a distance and the harsh realities faced by others. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to really soak in the atmosphere, almost like you're in a trance of waves and emotions. It’s distinct, not just for its artistic choices but for how it challenges viewers to confront their own complacency. There's an uncomfortable beauty in the tension it navigates, making it quite the experience, really.
