It is one of the miracles of filmmaking how somebody can make some of the most despicable documentaries of the 20th century and then make a beautiful nature documentary like this almost 70 years later. That's pretty much a lifetime. Of course, it helped that Leni Riefenstahl lived until the age of 101. Then again, I must say I don't think she has anything really to do with the crimes committed by the Nazis back then, even if it always left a shadow on her career for many people. Sad to see she was not prolific at all in terms of movies after World War II.
However, this underwater documentary is truly a thing of beauty. I also liked the words she said early on about preserving said this beauty because it is such a crucial aspect. And why explore space and whatever else when there are still so many areas on the planet that we know nothing about because they are too deep, too cold or too dark. Or all 3 of these things like the deepest oceans. I enjoyed this one a lot. It's also not a problem at all that there is no narrator. This one is not about learning something. It is about enjoying everything that nature has to offer. Highly recommended and in terms of animal documentaries I am certainly more on the furry than fishy side, but this was still mesmerizing.
