Edition screened: Criterion Blu-ray #686 in box set #684 Martin Scorsese’s World Cinema Project No. 1, released 2013. Spanish with English subtitles. Runtime approximately 60 minutes.
Summary: Careless treatment of fish.
Details: Predictably, this film about peasant fishermen has scenes of fish in nets and lying in the bottoms of boats, but there are no scenes of violent killing or butchering. The worst and longest scene occurs 24:48-27:10, during which we see large fish hauled in en masse, tossed roughly into boats, then hanged on scales to determine their weights.
