"The sea, where each man, as in a mirror, finds himself". Mysterious, haunting and most of all, honest account of the passions and tribulations of life at sea. Stand-out performance from Gregory, given free reign to let rip at a brilliant script. "Is it real? Do you see it?"; "Aye, we all see it, but that doesn't mean it's real". You can tell a quality film when the lead star is kept off screen as in this movie, for the first half hour. Extraordinary moments a-plenty here
