The Bruce Movie

About This Movie

The Bruce Movie is a fascinating dive into Bruce Irons, a uniquely unpredictable surfer known for his explosive style. Shot on a mix of 16mm, Super 8, and 35mm, the film captures not just the action but the raw energy and atmosphere of surfing culture. It’s not edited with a conventional flow; rather, it jumps around in a way that mirrors Bruce's own spontaneity. You get a real sense of the highs and lows of life on the tour, and it’s refreshing to see a documentary embrace those shaky, grainy aesthetics—feels more intimate. Bruce’s performances are a blend of instinct and artistry, and the film does a solid job showcasing that without getting too technical. If you appreciate the art of surfing, this one has its own rhythm.
