ON THE SEA
FIRST IMAGES FROM THE MOVING DRAMA
Well it definitely sounds like a moving and deeply psychological drama. Taking part in the competition of Edinburgh International Film Festival this August is Helen Walsh directed drama ON THE SEA, a profound and moving exploration of masculinity and desire in a remote yet savagely 
beautiful fishing community starring Barry Ward, Lorne MacFadyen, Liz White, Henry Lawfull, Celyn Jones, Danny Webb. Jack works as a Hand Raker on the mussel beds in North Wales alongside his younger brother,
Dyfan, and Dyfan’s three sons. Jack has always assumed that his own boy, Tom, will join the family business on leaving school but Tom’s resistance to follow in his footsteps creates familial tension. Tensions are further inflamed 
by the arrival of an itinerant deckhand, Daniel, who makes known his feelings for Jack. In this remote, rural community where life revolves around Church and fishery, Jack is faced with an impossible dilemma. ON THE SEA is a beautiful, sensual and at times, tragic exploration of masculinity, place and desire.

Sounds like something my husband and I would both enjoy. I hope the weather is slightly cooler there and you can start the oven to bake something delicious for the weekend. It's 14-21C here and tomorrow it's 17-19C and RAINY...
ReplyDeleteWish I had your weather. It was 36 today and will be 40 tomorrow,but apparently we should get a significant temp drop next week and it should last all till next Sunday when tropical heat returns and will be here to stay for a longer time. The worst is that we have not had rain in two months.
DeleteThis is one that I'd really enjoy. I hope it's available on one of our streamers.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed, I wanna see it myself.
