All Is Lost

Saw this sea survival (or not) gem last night. Starring Robert Redford as a man in dire straights following a yaughting accident in the Indian Ocean, the film has virtually no dialogue and only Redford is ever seen, but still the film manages to rack up a tension rarely achieved in modern cinema. Much of this is down to Redford's quiet ability to respond to his plight, but to simultaneously project a rising internal desperateness as his plight slowly worsens. Redford belies his 71 years in performing nearly all his own stunts and never drops a stitch in his portrayal as the capable man who the fates have decided they are going to test to destruction. See this one if you can!
