CRYSTAL VOYAGER is an adventure film centering on surfer, inventor, cameraman George Grenough
Very much a film of its time, 1972, Crystal Voyager climaxes in a surreal journey deep inside the vortex of huge breaking waves where time enters a space, a zone of its own.
The film became a cult hit throughout the world.
“Perspectives flatten a seascape into a field of ploughed up furrows. Slow Motion reveals the multitudinous beauties of sea water. Sometimes a wide angled lens distorts the horizon’s curvature ; the world becomes a green ball you can throw up and catch.
The last 25 minutes is an almost unbroken underwater trip of a thousand translucent tints, accompanied by the electronic music of Pink Floyd pinging out of infinity like an echo sounder. To see it stone cold sober on a wintry morning is exhilarating. To see it “stoned” as I guess some surf freaks have, must be out of this world”
