"All is Lost" (2013) funny enough got me interested in offshore sailing in my late teens. Incredible performance by Redford, first film that really left an impression on me. There is only one or two lines of dialogue in the entire film. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2017038/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2017038/ https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/all-is-lost-2013 https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/all-is-lost-2013

I loved this very much, and I've seen it a couple of times. Together with "Touching the Void" it ranks high on my list of the best survival pictures ever made, a specific genre I enjoy very much. And it's very intimate. 106 minutes of just you the viewer, and Robert Redford. I might just rewatch it tonight. It feels fitting.

  I got into mountaineering (movies) after reading Into Thin Air, about the disaster atop Mount Everest in 1996. Haunting story, fantastic book. For real life lost at sea stories, there’s “438 Days: An Extraordinary True Story of Survival at Sea” telling the story of fisherman Salvador Alvarenga that spent more than a year adrift in the Pacific Ocean.

    Not as long but similarly lost at sea, crossing the Atlantic in a life raft: "Adrift: Seventy-six Days Lost at Sea" by Steven Callahan.

    How interesting, there is another movie called "438 days", although in Swedish, which is about two Swedish journalists imprisoned in Ethiopia for espionage. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/438_dagar https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/438_dagar (Swedish)

    If you love survival stories, checkout “Deep Survival “ that analyzes why some people survive and others don’t. Brilliant

I do think this is one of Redford's very best films. A lot of detractors make the mistake of assuming the character is intended to represent an expert & experienced sailor, leading to a complete misread of the story. It is possible to be both clever & unwise. Edit: Screenplay link! https://thescriptsavant.com/movies/All_Is_Lost.pdf https://thescriptsavant.com/movies/All_Is_Lost.pdf

This is not a film, this is a lesson to all ocean sailors. When I travelled along the Pacific in 2009 we were prepared for the cases that happened in the movie. I have dreamt about them and then I watched them.
