The Catch (1983)

Watch movie

Tuna fishing. It doesn't exactly evoke the stuff of drama, yet very dramatic is this gripping yarn (puns intended) about the solemn, solitary lives of the men who catch what ends up as our sushi and sashimi. Opening with a shot of a young couple traversing sand dunes, the woman posits a question - women or fishing? This question fuels the drama of the next two-plus hours.
