Wind, Tide & Oar Review – a love letter to the good old -fashioned art of sailing

“The squall comes here,” says one voice excitedly. A girl of 11 or 12 who clasps the side of the boat looks less enthusiastic. A squall is the most action that you have a love Bread on Engineloses sailing from this sensitive, contemplative, rather eccentric documentary by Filmemacher Huw Huw Wahle Wahle. The sailor we see most is Rose Ravetz (the director’s sister), who comes in Maldon in Essex.

Raised over three years and filmed on 16 -mm film, there are some beautiful pictures that would give gymnast a run for his money, like a milky sky that melts into the White Sea. It is also a feast for the ears with a soundtrack waves, creaking wood, the chief made of metal and screeching oyster catcher. In Maldon Ravetz twists the yarn to make rope through Lamplight. Your considerations about the effect of sailing on your anxious tendencies make it sound like meditation: “If you are in this conversation with nature, it is not in your head. It is just the feeling and reacts without analyzing it.”

We observe the crew of his boat, the TRES -HOMBRES, load barrels; Elsewhere, hobbyists take part in a closer sail -jolly in Norfolk. The film is a gentle audiovisual meditation – although he personally exceeded the fine line between meditative and sleepy, with the beach waves putting a gentle pressure on my eyelids. Nevertheless, it is the only film that I saw with a cast list of boats and not with people in the credits.

• Wind, Tide & Oar will be located in Great Britain and Irish cinemas from April 25th.
