Tarpon
Synopsis
Filmmakers Christian Odasso and Guy de la Valdene document the thriving fly-fishing scene in Key West, Florida. Tourists take boat trips and visit the former home of novelist Ernest Hemingway. Seasoned anglers—some of them writers too—cast for tarpon in the shallows and swap philosophies of fishing.
Editorial
Savoring the many flavors of fishing in the tropics, this lively documentary glides between the enjoyment and ethics, the serenity and competitiveness of the sport. Contemplating crystal-clear waters as well as shoals of tourists, Tarpon is a compelling, altogether calming portrait of a pastime.
