It’s not hard to imagine that in a couple of decades time, Breakwater may be remembered fondly as the debut of filmmaker Max Morgan and his talented creative team. Through a series of mostly silent encounters, the pair form an unlikely bond that seems to make sense to Otto in a way no other relationships do. Steven Spielberg once used the phrase “keeping the camera quiet” to discuss the filmmaking process of Lincoln, and the same can definitely be said of Breakwater. The cinematography encapsulates the sweeping vistas of the South Coast, as well as the minute intricacies of Oxford libraries and chapels. It’s fair to say that Oxford University’s contributions are now two-for-two, and we can only hope for more great work.
