Leviathan by Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor is an unsettling depiction of industrial fishing that revolutionized the documentary tradition in cinema. Shot entirely on handheld cameras, the film is a brutal portrait of life and death that shatters romantic ideas of the sea. This visceral account of life at sea has already been hugely influential on filmmakers.
