Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Véréna Paravel have created an experimental documentary with audacity and brilliance, a film that could as well be shown on a wall at Tate Modern as on a cinema screen. It is about the experience of working aboard a fishing trawler on dark, grim and dangerous waters, filmed in the North Atlantic. Using a range of tiny cameras that can be passed from hand to hand, or fixed to objects or clothing, the film gives us unexpected views from unexpected angles: we can see what the humans see – and get the freaky, hallucinatory sense that we are also seeing what the fish see, what the gulls see, even what the ship sees. For the first 10 minutes, all is chaos, as if at the beginning of the world or out in space. The audience is plunged into strange, unreadable images. What on earth is going on? It is very disturbing: like the work of Carlos Reygadas or Gaspar Noé. Not an easy watch, and something in which you must make an investment of attention – but a fascinating piece of work.
Something went wrong, but don't fret — let's give it another shot.
