Jane Public aka Riley wants to see LEVIATHAN, a visceral look at the high-risk world of commercial fishing. Taking to the waters off the coast of New Bedford, MA—the setting of Melville’sMoby-Dick—Castaing-Taylor and Paravel strapped their waterproof cameras to workers, decks, hulls and cranes, capturing the perspectives of fisherman, fish, and seagulls with a stunning you-are-there immediacy. ..

Part ethnographic investigation and part impressionist experiment, LEVIATHAN represents a whole new kind of documentary. And all seabird films aside, Jane Public shaved today. Thank Gawd. bye.
