Review of "Last Fisherman"
Full review
Fantastic photography (Cornwall never looked so good). A poetic documentary in the great british style (GPO film unit). Narrative structure a bit rambling and could have been tightened up a bit (at 76mins I wonder if they left too much in in order not to make it too short). Lead character (Malcolm Brown, the fisherman) a bit uncharismatic, bt compensated for by the Austrian Leo. Overall very good though despite these minor comments.
