Левиафан (2012)

"Leviathan" (2012) is a documentary film directed by Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Véréna Paravel. The film depicts the daily routine of a commercial fishing vessel named the "Aleutian Eagle" as it navigates the treacherous waters of the North Atlantic. Shot on location in the United Kingdom, France, and the United States, the film captures the raw beauty of the sea and the harsh realities of the fishing industry. The film features a cast of real-life fishermen, including Brian Jannelle, Adrian Guillette, Arthur Smith, Kristoffer Sompstef, Clyde Lee, Declan Conneely, and others. It also showcases various sea creatures caught in the fishing nets, such as the Asterias vulgaris, Callinectes sapidus, Cleona celata, and Fulmarus glariais. "Leviathan" is known for its experimental approach to filmmaking, as the camera work is often shaky and abstract, and the sound design is unconventional. The film aims to replicate the experience of being on a fishing vessel, as the camera immerses the viewer in the sights and sounds of the sea. Overall, "Leviathan" is a thought-provoking and visceral portrayal of the fishing industry, highlighting the grueling work of the fishermen, the impact of commercial fishing on the environment, and the complex relationship between humans and the sea.
