Deep Water - The Movie

[jakeroyd]

Like many of you , I guess , I am keen to see the new 'deep water' movie telling the story of Donald Crowhurst.
My problem is having been released on Dec 15th , it just does not seem to be showing at any cinemas near me.
I live in The West Midlands , home of the 'Brummagem Navy'
Anybody seen it yet ?

I have often seen the Brummagem Navy even in Fishguard - as fine a body of sea persons as you could wish to meet in the Ship Inn.

Yes . I saw it last night. Can't say there were many people in the cinema, Exeter Picture House just up the road from Teignmouth, so doubt if it will be a major box office hit! Not a bad film reminded me of a few of the facts that I had forgotten. Wouldn't bother to see it again.

I read the book last year and saw the film at the Manchester Cornerhouse last week...... personally I think it's a great film but it will depend upon your personal perspective. It left a big impact on me and I remember well the opening line of the film.

There are very, very few films which describe why single-handed sailors go to sea, the challenges they face with original footage..... sailing in something a lot more basic than your average 14 year old might use when being directed across an ocean !

A sad story and a classic case of what goes round comes round, I must admit to a fascination with the often reported (but never talked about) hallucinations that lone yachtsmen have, usually in the form of a companion.
I`ll make a point of seeing it.

Is it still playing there?

How difficult to get to from the M56?

I have been searching for a local cinema to play it, even some of our specialist cinemas that play independents have never heard of it.

I might come over tonight if it is showing..

Just checking it out myself, it stopped playing at most picturehouses on 4 jan...
so looks like we've missed it for now

good old short term viewings, not enough people in to keep the films playing to suit the fast fix viewing public...

I wouldn't worry. I saw it in Edinburgh Filmhouse and fell asleep even though the cinema was freezing cold. There was mcuh repetition of the same few short lengths of contemporary film, a few reconstructions and interviews with RKJ, a Crowhurst son, his widow and one or 2 others I don't remember. I was left much more intrigued about Moitessier, and what was going on on his head...
