At sea only in the sense that the sole actor seems without purpose.
It's really about a hoarder choosing to live alone in the wild.
Black and white grainy film, low light, out of focus close ups.
I kept wondering what his set-up was. Does he have electricity?
Yes - there's a record player working. Does he have hot water?
Yes, he takes a shower, though he has no soap. What's in that
huge house? A lot of junk mostly. Is he a hoarder? What does
he eat? Who knows. Once he makes a sort of soup outdoors,.
Where does he go on his walks? Nowhere, except to find a
place to sleep. He drives his jeep somewhere, so he must have
access to gas. He builds a kind of boat, at least something that floats, where he can maybe meditate and of course sleep.
There's a black cat in the house but the man doesn't interact with it.
He never talks, not even to himself.
At the end, we still know nothing about the man as we watch his
face slowly disappear from the screen.
2 stars? Well, there are a few nice shots of nature and of his beard.
