DEEP WATER

Thanks to IFC Films and The New York Observer, I saw the documentary Deep Water last night and liked it a lot. I don't want to give much of it away—and I warn you to look out for spoilers in reviews and wherever else they might be found—but I will say that it's a helluva sea yarn having to do with a round-the-world yacht race that took place in the late 1960s, and it's interesting to contemplate how ancient issues pertaining to sailing our watery planet still apply in the Space Age.

I think it's coming soon to the IFC Center and the Angelika.
