At sea only in the sense that the sole actor seems without purpose.
It's really about a hoarder choosing to live alone in the wild.
Black and white grainy film, low light, out of focus close ups.
I kept wondering what his set-up was. Does he have electricity?
Yes - there's a record player working. Does he have hot water?
Yes, he takes a shower, though he has no soap. What's in that huge house? A lot of junk mostly. Is he a hoarder? What does he eat? Who knows. Once he makes a sort of soup outdoors,.
Where does he go on his walks? Nowhere, except to find a place to sleep. He drives his jeep somewhere, so he must have access to gas. He builds a kind of boat, at least something that floats, where he can maybe meditate and of course sleep.
There's a black cat in the house but the man doesn't interact with it.
He never talks, not even to himself.
At the end, we still know nothing about the man as we watch his face slowly disappear from the screen.
2 stars? Well, there are a few nice shots of nature and of his beard.

There's no point clicking the spoiler button because there literally is no plot, no narrative, nothing.
I get the concept, guy lives live as a hermit, he does mundane things like walk through the beautiful countryside and falls asleep loads. He doesn't need material things, he's quite content this way.
Every now and then you see old photographs of his family which makes you wonder what actually happened to them. There's no clue at all. All I can think is this is the life he has chosen, or maybe he does see them but we don't see that. Either way, who really cares.
Its shot in black n white with the only dialogue being socks.
Some of the music is OK
Quite simply one of the dullest films ever made
