Brazenly experimental, the film illuminates the debilitating effect of mental illness, imaginatively but discreetly conveying the message of its sponsor (Roche) while showing real insight and sensitivity towards its subjects. Its brutally graphic opening brings mental turmoil sharply into focus.

MovieDocumentary

Bruce Brown's The Endless Summer is one of the first and most influential surf movies of all time. The film documents American surfers Mike Hynson and Robert August as they travel the world during California’s winter (which, back in 1965 was off-season for surfing) in search of the perfect wave and ultimately, an endless summer.

A woman narrates the thoughts of a world traveler, meditations on time and memory expressed in words and images from places as far-flung as Japan, Guinea-Bissau, Iceland, and San Francisco.
