The Art of Catching Lobsters is this deeply personal documentary that feels like a diary, really. Shot along the breathtaking but harsh North Cornwall coast, it captures the essence of a life spent by the sea. Jane Darke, the filmmaker, focuses on her husband Nick, who is grappling with the dual challenges of recovering from a stroke while facing a cancer diagnosis. The atmosphere is strikingly raw and intimate, allowing you to connect with their journey in a very visceral way. You get moments of joy intertwined with sorrow, underscoring life's fragility. The pacing is contemplative, giving you time to absorb each scene. The practical effects of nature and the sea are almost characters in their own right, enhancing the storytelling.
