The Diver

★ 9.5/10•2006•21m•Documentary

Diving is like poetry, each movement flowing into the next.

The Diver is a hymn to diving and the aesthetics of movement. It is a dreamlike collage of movement, music and narration honouring the most beautiful sport there is. Helge Wasenius (b. 1927), The Grand Old Man of divers, is the principal character in the film, a colourful daredevil of the sport.
