The Deepest Breath – Netflix documentary movie [Reco]

Yesterday I watched a new Netflix documentary movie.

Official synopsis (with some spoilers):

Descending to remarkable depths below the sea on one single breath, Alessia Zecchini enters what she describes as the last quiet place on Earth. The Italian champion is determined to set a new world record in freediving, a dangerous extreme sport in which competitors attempt to reach the greatest depth without the use of scuba gear. Freedivers are often subject to blackouts upon ascent, necessitating the help of safety divers like Stephen Keenan, a free-spirited Irish adventurer who fell in love with the sport in Dahab, Egypt. Having formed a special bond on the freediving circuit, Alessia and Stephen train together so she can make an attempt on Dahab’s legendary Blue Hole and its challenging 85-foot-long tunnel 184 feet below the Red Sea. Their fates are inextricably bound together by a tragic event that ensues.

I didn’t know anything about these two and was totally surprised by the storyline and the ending.

The documentary is very interesting and quite moving… wasn’t expecting that.

And it has plenty of women in sexy smooth skin wetsuits πŸ™‚

I highly recommend this one!

The frogwoman and the water spirit

I saw a trailer for this one a couple of months ago and now I finally saw the movie.

In this new german movie, we have a happy couple going scuba diving in a big reservoir.

But the dive doesn’t go as planned….

And here is the video:

*EDIT* This is now the short version since Youtube blocked my earlier video due to “nudity”….which is SO completely bizarre! There is nothing to see. Yeah, he opens her wetsuit to revive her, but again, there is nothing shown there. Is reviving somebody now something sexual for Youtube? Verrrrrry strange…..

However, here is the longer version, I uploaded earlier:

The frogwoman and the water spirit (long cut)

*EDIT2* January 11: now actually with the longer scene on google drive (sorry for uploading the same shorter scene yesterday)

Well, I guess most of you think: WTF? What is going on there???

Yeah, I thought the same as I watched it. As I finished watching the movie things became much clearer. But still, there are quite a few mysteries about certain scenes from the movie.

This movie has some fantasy elements, the frogwoman in this scene IS actually some sort of water spirit called “Undine” (an old myth you may check on google).

But why she is pulled away by the fish and why does the guy never even ask about what happened….I can’t tell you.

And also, when she is a water spirit, she may not need the scuba gear. I guess she puts it on so she can keep her secret in front of her boyfriend. But why does she nearly drowns when she is a water spirit….I don’t know. Perhaps she was just pretending to give him the opportunity to “save” her and thereby be her hero.

I really like the close-up shots of the frogwoman and her classic vintage (or vintage-style) scuba mask. The reviving scene is done quite well and is pretty sexy.

Sadly it was her only scuba scene in the movie. He is seen underwater quite more often as he is an industrial diver. Then he uses rather heavy gear of course.

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like a German version of Joaquin Phoenix? πŸ˜‰

The title of the movie is already in the text above, but here is the link:

Two frogwomen, a dolphin and a female freediver in trouble

I was reminded about this scene by a friendly user, thanks for that!

In this one, we have a reckless female freediver, two frogwomen in FFM’s, and a dolphin.

And here is the video:

Ok, I admit, the frogwomen are only supporting characters in this one.

It’s really odd how she manages to get tangled up like that but ok.

It’s odd how all divers are at 100 feet when she freedives to 400 feet…. as their equipment was ready for up to 300 feet.

It’s odd why the divers don’t do anything but wait for her.

I wish the two frogwomen would have rescued her instead of the guy and the dolphin. πŸ˜‰

But after all, it’s a nice underwater peril scene.

Wanna know from which episode this scene is?

IMDB-link

To my knowledge, it’s Season 4 Episode 5, not 10 as IMDB lists it. But the title is correct.

What do you think about that scene?
