So, you've got 'The Fish on My Plate,' which is this quirky docu-narrative that follows Paul Greenberg's year-long journey of munching on all sorts of fish. It's not just about fish, though; it dives into sustainability and the ecological impact of our seafood choices. The pacing swings a bit, feeling casual yet insightful, as he grapples with the moral implications of what goes onto our plates. The atmosphere is both experimental and educational, with a dash of humor that keeps it engaging. Plus, you get to see him really go for it, eating over 700 fish meals, which is kind of a feat in itself. It’s distinctive in how it melds personal narrative with environmental themes without getting too preachy.
This film is a bit of an oddity in the documentary space, especially given its unique focus on fish consumption and sustainability. It's not widely available on home media, which adds to its appeal among collectors; I’ve seen some limited releases, but they tend to pop up infrequently. Definitely a conversation starter for any collection—especially for those who appreciate environmental themes in cinema.
