The Deep (2012)

COMING SOON: Baltasar Kormakur's The Deep (Iceland, 2012) - At the end of Kormakur’s masterful blend of sound and fury, the real-life fisherman on whose inexplicable feat in 1984 of surviving six hours in frigid waters after the boat on which he and five companions worked in the legendarily rough waters of the North Atlantic, tells national television, “No one is really bothered by this thing happening.” Thing? In typical Icelandic fashion, he downplays his unique personal experience; like his character in the film, Gulli (Olafsson), he is much more at home talking about the fate of his mates. The worldview is collective. 2012TOR.
