Blue Breath

About This Movie

So, 'Blue Breath' is this understated documentary that really lets you feel the weight of Ribeira Quente's fading fishing culture. It’s all about the raw, almost melancholic vibe of this village in the Azores, where fishing isn't just a job but a way of life slowly slipping away. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the scenery and the stories of the fishermen, capturing their grit and the communal bonds. There's a certain authenticity in how it's shot—no over-the-top effects or dramatization, just life as it is. You can almost taste the salt in the air, and it’s that kind of immersion that makes it stand out. Not something you'd pop in for a light watch, but definitely deep and reflective, you know?
