★★☆☆☆ The endless oceans of love and grief are plumbed in esoteric and emotive fashion in André Semanza and Fernanda Lippi's flawed and ambitious art film, Sea Without Shore (2015). Coming over a decade after the duo's first feature collaboration, Ashes of God (2003), it sets out a similar stall, seeking to fuse together interpretive dance and formally experimental cinema into cogent and affecting visual poetry. Whilst the result on this occasion is certainly striking, it ultimately fails to elicit the desired effect on the big screen. Rather than working as a film in its own right, it feels like a short stretched that little bit too far, or a hypnotic sequence in a longer denser film.
