DVD Revieuw:

Passion in Blue

Revieuwed by Rik Rösken

The DVD on a Passion in Blue picks up where we left Yasemin in The World's Deepest Woman. In this DVD we see the preparations for another word record attempt, getting to a 105 meters in limited weight, getting down by the aid of a sled, and getting back on her own power.

The story starts when the group gets an invitation for an attempt in the red sea, one of the most popular diving destinations in the mediterean area. They find their way to Hurghada and embark there on their preparations.

Looking on the DVD in retrospective, I wonder how their feeling would have been when they knew what they could have expected in Egypt. Several problems in the weather and the fysique give the group the idea that the record is further away then ever. Strong currents during the day, a ever weakening physiology due to the stress of training and finally earproblems that make equilisation an experiement on its own.

A Passion in Blue is less technical then the previous documentary, and tries to explain the relationship between the freediver and the aquatic enviroment. One might ask yourself in this documentary if it wouldn't have been to much centered on the role playing breath-hold diver and her trainer. However it is this method of telling te story that when revieuwing the things told, gives another insight in freediving not earlier taken.

Overall, motivation is a keyword during the documentary, an try to explane what seems to drive everything and everyone. Independt of what the vieuwer things of the events happening during the story, the DVD gives quite well the insight to explain what for kind of force motivation can be.

The video/DVD has a duration of 52 minutes and can be bought through: Ideas in Blue
