Superbly filmed and says so much about the human condition
This documentary film deserves more than one award in my mind. There's so much more to this film than just following "The Sailor" Paul in his day to day life. The filming introduces visual metaphors by the bucket load and combined with Paul's dialogue makes this a wonderful study on what it is to be human albeit from a the perspective of a hedonistic free spirit who now realises there is a price to pay . There is also a wonderful display of humanity shown by the interaction with the locals who obviously care for Paul and support him as if he was part of their own family and yet not expecting anything for their efforts. A superb cinematic observation on being human, and not a lot about being a sailor. Congratulations to all who put this masterpiece together.
