Jacques Perrin's nature documentary Oceans is a beautifully shot piece that fell victim to American distributors. In it's original form it tells the story of the 5 oceans of the world, it's inhabitants and how us, as human beings, are destroying it. When the film arrived in the U.S., 20 minutes was cut, ignoring how we're destroying the oceans to give it a G-rating for the kids. Instead it's just a awe-inspiring look at the ocean's creatures, set to the wonderful music by Bruno Coulais. Either way it's beautiful but the European release is the one that comes with a purpose.
3 Disney, fuck you's out of 5 for the American release.
4 Humanity, fuck you's out of 5 for the European release.
