"Breath"

Watch this movie and you'll want to move to Australia and take up surfing. Honestly. The story, based on the best-selling novel by Tim Winton, is about two teenage boys who befriend Sando,  a worldly hippy. He introducing them to surfing and supplies them with their first surfboards. Sando is a former world champion and lives with a gorgeous Olympic skier who's recuperating from a major injury. He takes the two kids to remote and challenging beaches where they develop into accomplished surfers. There's a "Summer of '42" like romance which adds to the story.  The scenery is breathtaking and the surfing cinematography is spectacular--you'll feel like you're right out there surfing with them. I found it refreshing to watch a feel-good movie where nothing horrible happens.
4 out of 5 stars
