Alamar, by Pedro Gonzalez-Rubio

Alamar comes from nowhere. It looks like nothing you could have ever seen before. The Mexican movie director Pedro Gonzalez-Rubio gathered three amator actors, including father and son, Jorge and Natan. He sent them in a place they did not know, Banco Chinchorro, one of the largest barrier reefs in the world, located on the Mexican Caribbean coast. And he filmed them in that amazing natural scene, fishing with Jorge’s father, cooking in their isolated hut on stilts and try to tame a wild crane.

Alamar shows the growing relationship between a father and his son, symbolized by the quest for the crane. Jorge (Jorge Machado) and his wife (Roberta Palombini) are divorced and Natan (Natan Machado Palombini)  lives with his mother in Roma. He travels to Mexico for his holidays and this isolated journey will be the opportunity to strengthen his link with his father. But Alamar is also a way to plead for the protection of nature. Everything is focused on the beauty of landscapes, with great views under the sea. We can even wonder if the scenario would only be a pretense to film nature.

The style is completely apart, between fiction and documentary. My advice would be “Sit and just enjoy”. Without thinking. It is just a kind of David Lynch’s movie without any supernatural dimension. A trip into the deep reality of nature. A fresh view on family relations and simply a fresh moment.
