Peel: The Peru Project - A Surf Odyssey

Great video

Good video

Not bad and somewhat entertaining but not a super inspiring film. Surf shots are good and the talent is obvious, just didn't hook me.

Great movie, enjoyed the whole experience, from the music to the surf scenes the whole time watching was outstanding.

This is more than a surf flick; it's a real movie in the tradition of other Brown family members' work (Endless Summer, Step Into Liquid). I would put it into the travel/adventure genre and on the DVD there's a bonus documentary of the filming of the movie. Both would appeal to anyone who has been to Peru or is contemplating a trip there. It even includes the obligatory trip to Machu Picchu. If you're a surfer and want nothing but non-stop cutbacks, floaters, backside hacks and the occasional aerial, try Hit & Run by Taylor Steele. I can dig it but for a film to show your non-surfing friends without boring them to death - that has all that and a lot more - check this out.

Awesome surf flick, one of the better ones I've seen in a while.

It is terrible! This documentary does not show the real culture of surfers in Peru... the best part is only when the Peruvian surfers talk about their experiences. They only show very horrible shots of Lima and the small towns along the coast of Peru and I know that they have very beautiful places to stay and eat. It is obvious that they did not invest much in the production of the film. This was like a home-made video of the American surfers featured in the documentary and their vacation in Peru. It did show good places to surf and that it is not crowded along the coast so it is easy to find great places to surf without the beaches being overcrowded. But the other shots of Peru only showed poor people and the shanty towns they live in. Those do exist. But Peru has a lot of beautiful scenery and nice places to stay and good restaurants. They didn't show anything of Lima except the Waikiki Club. Lima is a large, metropolitan city with a lot of old historical buildings. It's a great place to visit. In the summer there are a lot of surfers along the beaches of Lima. This film only presented a few interviews with star Peruvian surfers. It did not present the culture of average Peruvians who enjoy surfing as a hobby and love the beach there.

Decent. Worth watching.
