Waves(1973)
There is a rapture on the lonely shore. There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep Sea, and music in its roar.
Waves Synopsis
Waves is a visually breathtaking film about the power of the sea. Capturing the Atlantic Ocean in various moods as it crashes against the Irish coasts, the film is a hymn to the relentless power and endless beauty of this elemental force of nature. With coastal scenes harking back to the majesty of Flaherty’s Man of Aran (1934), Carey offers a unique sea-centred depiction of the islands as his painterly cinematography offers mesmerising images of roiling seas, waves crashing against the Aran rocks, sunsets and a golden full moon. John Taylor, friend and colleague of Carey, had originally worked on Man of Aran and filmed some of the additional photography in Waves.
Waves (1973) is a documentary film directed by Patrick Carey, released on January 1, 1973 with a runtime of 26m. Viewers rate it 7.0 out of 10 across 1 ratings.
