Review of 'My Octopus Teacher'

Nice gentle, beautiful film about a South African film maker and diver, suffering from burn-out, who finds redemption by diving in a kelp forest and observing an octopus. There's a bit of anthropomorphism, but not much...I'm not usually one for nature films or animal films, but this was special, with a lot of really interesting stuff about the octopus, and beautiful photography and music. There was quite a lot of shark stuff (the natural predator for the common octopus in these waters is the wonderfully-named pyjama shark) and these got a rather good backing track that was just reminiscent enough of the 'Jaws' theme without being cheesy.
