Riding the wave


Breath (2017)

Directed by Simon Baker this film based on the novel of the same name stars Samson Coulter, Ben Spence and Elizabeth Debicki. In 1970s Australia two teen age boys start to learn to surf from an older former pro surfer.

Classic coming of age themes are explored in this film via the medium of surfing. Despite the familiar themes and subject matter this film still has new things to say on the subject matter. I found this to be a refreshing surfing story that does not get caught up too much in the mysticism of the past time.

4/5
