Two Years at Sea

Favoring sensation over narrative and impression over explanation, this unusually immersive documentary by experimental artist/filmmaker Ben Rivers portrays the unconventional life of Jake Williams, an elderly hermit living in an isolated cabin nestled in the Scottish wilderness. Having labored at sea to earn his preferred way of living, Jake now survives on precious little resources but vast satisfaction with his surroundings and odd projects to pass the time. 92 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English; bonus shorts "This Is My Land" (2006), "I Know Where I'm Going" (2009); deleted scenes; theatrical trailer.
