Alone Across The Pacific (aka Taiheiyo Hitori-Botchi)
Alone Across The Pacific (aka Taiheiyo Hitori-Botchi)
Director: Kon Ichikawa
Summary: Director Kon Ichikawa's (AN ACTOR'S REVENGE, THE BURMESE HARP, TOKYO OLYMPIAD) incredible real-life tale of one man's epic journey across the Pacific Ocean is based on Kenichi Horie's best-selling book of the same name. A year previously, at only 23 years old, Horie took his basic sailboat (named 'The Mermaid') and set off from Nishinomiya in Japan, arriving in San Francisco, California 94 days later. Man's battle against nature is amongst the timeless themes of Ichikawa's beautifully shot, inspiring film. Renowned composer Toru Takemitsu provides the atmospheric score.
