Recently, I sat down to view the film, A Broke Down Melody, a beautiful surfing documentary recommended by a friend at home in California. A Brokedown Melody was directed in 2004 by professional surfer and filmmaker Chris Malloy and features the surfing of some of the world’s best surfers. The film's stunning imagery, and shared stories documents the journey of a group of surfers as they ride the waves of South America, Polynesia and Jamaica.
The film captures the beauty of the locations, the talent of the surfers and the power of the ocean with amazing cinematography, and underwater, in-water camera shots. Flavor is added to the scenes with the help of inspiring music from many artists including former pro surfer, Jack Johnson. Overall, I was impressed by the visual imagery and touched by the stories and experiences revealed in the film. A Brokedown Melody is an enchanting film and the perfect escape from a cold New England winter.
