An extraordinary journey, Peyangki’s adventure encourages us to reevaluate how we see ourselves and how we see the world. “Thomas Balmès’ fascinating documentary investigates the ripple-effect repercussions of an apparently good creation perverting a pristine community,” writes Courtney Howard in her Variety review.

My Octopus Teacher

For a year, Craig Foster, a naturalist from South Africa, studied a female octopus and the results were breathtaking. Foster’s adoration for his mutable inspiration is revealed through a story that reads like a love letter. For the first time in the film’s history, we aren’t merely shown the life of this strange creature; we are also made to care about her on an emotional level. According to James Reed, who co-directed this nature documentary: “It’s a hope that the lesson is that there are complex personalities in nature which just haven’t been documented yet.” This film does for the octopus what March of the Penguins did for the penguin – kindling a worldwide love fest.
