The Beach

I have rewatched this so many times. The cinematography captures this man and his experience so well. There is love behind that camera and it shows. The cooking scenes alone, the colours and the use of light is a nice dramatic punctuation throughout this delightfully calming story of reclaiming oneself. So perfect for our time and a reminder to just get in a vehicle, discover the beauty of Australia and simplify. Loved it.

I wanted to join him - his cooking alone would be worth the experience. Soul searching and amazing food. .....yes.

Choose your positive adjective: intriguing, relaxing, affirming, real, grounding, groundbreaking, funny, understated, thought-provoking, appetite-stimulating, nostalgic, wise, riveting. I'm just a guy from Western Canada but I have watched this four times so far and every time I feel better about it. This film is an experience.

PS. I watched it several more times and am still more and more entranced. I grew up in Western Canada and he grew up in Australia. And yet we end up with massively similar sensibilities and a totally compatible idiom. I find that to be fascinating. When I'm a bit too stoked up, I revert to this video. Anyway, I'm gonna motor.

An rare video scene: living alone on a deserted beach. A paradise on the west coast of Australia. hermit life. if he wiil needs help, he will never have it (Really, he was at 2 miles from Djarindjin smalltown/Dampier Peninsula at north-Australia, at 16'31'06.11"S-122'51'32.52"N ). But the cooking that he does is incredible. There are 6 spliced episodes of almost 3 hours
