Our take

A young man takes up his late girlfriend’s obsession for oceanographic research in this mystical tale of love and loss from Mexican filmmaker Ruben Imaz. Told in heartfelt voiceover, and with echoes of Antonioni, Cephalopod charts a vividly symbolic odyssey through the bruised landscapes of grief.
