RANIERO

About This Movie

RANIERO is an intriguing dive into the life of a 65-year-old shoe store owner who swaps the retail space for the ocean floor. Directed by James Borg, this documentary encapsulates a unique blend of personal journey and environmental activism. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to marinate in the tranquil yet often polluted beauty of Malta’s underwater world. The practical effects of the ocean, coupled with the raw, unfiltered footage from his GoPro, create an immersive experience. The themes of resilience and responsibility shine through as he tackles the daunting task of cleaning the seas, piece by piece. The film feels intimate, almost like sharing a cup of coffee with an old friend who's seen too much trash in the waters he loves.
