“De Passage”

You’ve got 23 minutes to get though here, so we’ll keep this brief. This is “De Passage” by Reef, and it’s good. You won’t see any surfing till 2.58, but you’ll be lured in by some truly captivating cinematography overseen by Russell Brownley. You’ve got names like Rob Machado, Shane Dorian, Mick Fanning, Alana Blanchard, Kai Otton, Nick Rozsa, Mikala Jones and Taylor Knox, just to name a few, slicing apart some crazy good waves in Tahiti, Bali, Australia and South Africa. Some parts might test your patience if you’re not a fan of the slow-mo, but this film is all about slowing down and enjoying those moments on the road. This is really pleasant viewing.
