This will be a short discussion because this movie is a great example of effective simplicity.
One of my favourite aspects of this film is how the suspense is divided between both physical and psychological elements.
The physical elements being the storm, the problems with the boat, general weather, etc.
The psychological elements being the solitude, the near misses with getting rescued, and the decisions that play out during the film.
The cinematography is beautiful, and Redford gives a great performance as a man who just can't seem to catch a break.
The film also gave me a new found respect for those who make long sailing voyages, and is another showcase to never underestimate the high seas.
