"Wings of Desire, by Wim Wenders. The guy who wrote the screenplay, Peter Handke, is a playwright in Germany, and I was very much a part of reading the avant garde writers, be it plays or novels. I loved his writing, it was so strong and so sharp, and when the film came out, I just loved it. Everything about it was marvelous. Bruno Ganz was so brilliant. He’s brilliant most of the time. On our side of the ocean, let’s say, he was one of our stars, like Redford and Paul Newman and Brando were on that side. I had a few European actors where I went, “They’re so fantastic.”"

Peter Matthiessen | 2000

Book Favorite

"The most piercing, most beautiful sea tale I’ve read. Told almost entirely through dialogue—through Caribbean dialect, no less, where “Captain” becomes “Copm”—with the sparest possible narration, as precise as haiku, and pictographs, inkblots, great tracts of white space on the page. Nine working men set sail on an old schooner out of Grand Cayman, hunting green turtles. They talk to fill the ocean silence, their speech unattributed, and the drama circles and tightens. “Green turtle very mysterious, mon.” The characters sharpen into high suspense and tragedy. Matthiessen’s touch, his ear, his eye, his taut presence just outside the story’s frame—all miraculous, mon."

Not bad.
The film its self wasn't too bad, I enjoy the tense moments and the possibility of what could be in the ocean. I couldn't help but compare it to an underwater version of cloverfield but hey I likes that film too!

Good film about people working at the bottom of the sea on a drilling pylon and it seems they have awoken some ancient beast! It's all a fight to survive as they have to make it walking across the sea bed, but with these beasts being brutal and popping up everywhere not everyone will make it. Good tense film worth the watch!
