Part of the Portland International Film Festival. The
New York Times calls
Two Years at Sea "haunting" and goes on to say, "
Its final, shiver-inducing shot by fireside suggests a man disappearing into darkness itself." Director Ben Rivers has been making short films of a simliar style for nearly a decade -- featuring characters who don't speak or who say very little, set in places at the edge of civilization, with little or no plot development. This movie is more of that, showing us the life of a man called Jake Williams for two years in the Scottish Highlands as he goes about his solitary, mysterious existence. Winner of the FIPRESCI Critics’ Prize at the Venice Film Festival and director Rivers' first feature-length film.
