Julie says: “‘Being afraid is half the fun,’ or is it ? Coming of age surf movie with some depth beneath the surface.
“Atmospheric, moody, great cinematography and performances by newcomers Samson Coulter and Ben Spence as well as seasoned actor Simon Baker who also directed this (first time as director).
“‘Based on the award-winning, international best-selling novel by Tim Winton, Simon Baker’s directorial debut BREATH follows two teenage boys, Pikelet and Loonie (newcomers Samson Coulter and Ben Spence in breakthrough performances), growing up in a remote corner of the Western Australian coast. Hungry for discovery, the pair form an unlikely friendship with Sando (Simon Baker), a mysterious older surfer and adventurer who pushes the boys to take risks that will have a lasting and profound impact on their lives.'”
