I’ve included it in my top 10 fave female-directed movies of 2024 I’ve always loved films that offer a glimpse of a culture I’m not familiar with.

Last Breath tells the true story of a saturation diver who found himself stuck 330 feet deep in the North Sea, with only five minutes of air left in his tank.
