07/06/2021 Beautiful and magic! See more dave s @RT68722908 01/04/2021 Alamar is an odd film by any standard, but what is oddest about it is the fact that it is totally captivating for no explicable reason. A young boy, who will be leaving with his mother for a new life in Italy, spends time with his father at Banco Chinchorro, a remote atoll off the coast of Mexico. They spend their days fishing, swimming, boating, and enjoying the short time they have remaining together as father and son. Director Pedro Gonzalez-Rubio is totally objective throughout, passing no judgement regarding the father's lifestyle, and effectively captures the depth of the relationship between the two characters. While not for all tastes, it is a moving film and a daring experiment. See more 03/23/2018 I enjoyed this film immensely. It is a very beautiful film, but which never seems to be overly sentimental. The documentary-style is cleverly executed, and the gentle contemplation of the father-son relationship is touching. See more 11/14/2014 Beautiful, gentle people. Wonderful life they live. How sad for the child to be taken from there to live in the "real" world. See more 06/06/2014 Even though this is a very simple film I enjoyed it very much. See more 04/28/2014 This is a very different kind of documentary from the ones I usually watch. It was very simple yet very 'warm' and touching. See more Read all reviews
