The Deepest Breath is a deep-dive into a gorgeous, dangerous extreme sport. nataliakeogan's review of the Netflix doc:
In competitive free-diving, adrenaline-seekers plunge hundreds of feet into the ocean with just a breath of air to sustain themselves for the arduous journey below and back to the surface.written and directed by Laura McGann, uses incredible archival footage to help recount the recent history of this intense sport.
The film opens with years-old footage of Zecchini driving along the sandy shores of Long Island , which we later learn is the location of the famous Vertical Blue freediving competition. An unseen Italian woman in the car – likely the person filming – asks Zecchini how she feels about death. “Honestly, I’ve never thought about it,” she responds. “I think if someone has to die, they will.
The film then pivots into exploring the childhood and adult exploits of Stephen Keenan, from the claustrophobia he felt in his Dublin neighborhood to a multi-country trek through Africa in his 20s. Again, Keenan’s father is interviewed to provide further details , but there’s a thick melancholy attached to his anecdotes and recollections.
This footage is further bolstered by vlogs from Zecchini and Keenan , which offer personal musings in lieu of their inclusion through interview segments. Additional visual elements like newscasts, podcast interviews, and sparse interviews with other divers and sports journalists round out the narrative.
It’s confounding, though, that with a trove of such excellent footage, McGann would choose to implement reenactments that take the audience out of the moment. She directs Zecchini’s father in a re-staging of his reaction to a particularly dangerous Blue Vertical dive that his daughter embarked on, the elderly man squinting at his iPad trying to muster the requisite unease anew.
