Unter dem Meeresspiegel (2008)

Unter dem Meeresspiegel: Directed by Gianfranco Rosi. During a five year period an Italian filmmaker documents the world of down-on-their-luck individuals who live in a Californian desert trying to get by one day at a time. None of them has more than a vehicle, a dog and some clothes.

“The more you get to know the characters in this film, the more engaging it becomes; the paradox is that they seem to want to escape most of humanity, as a result of tragedy or trauma, but not Rosiu0026#39;s camera; and they form some sort of community in spite of everything. If you like this kind of thing, check out u0026#39;Bombay Beachu0026#39;, a visually striking portrait of people living by the nearby Saltoun Sea.”
