Trap Diary

About This Movie

Trap Diary (2018) immerses you in the gritty yet poetic world of Italian tuna fishing, based on Ninni Ravazza's book. The film captures the essence of coastal life, with a raw authenticity that mirrors the challenges and camaraderie among fishermen. The pacing can feel deliberate, almost meditative, allowing viewers to soak in the atmosphere of the fishing villages. You get a real sense of the hard work and tradition that goes into this age-old practice. It’s not flashy—there are no grand performances—but there's a sincerity in the way the fishermen share their stories. It’s a haunting portrayal of a way of life that's slowly vanishing, revealed through stunning visuals and a subtle, reflective tone.
