THE BLUE CONTINENT
(Robert Kapterer Productions). G Cert. HEN I first saw this advertised I thought it might be old Robinson Cousteau’s Silent World under another name, but it turned out to be the record of an Italian expedition-part sporting, part scientific-to the sun-smitten coral reefs of the Red Sea. Thanks to Hans and Lotte Hass, this section of the Blue Continent is not now unfamiliar territory, and you may be aware that mantas are not such devilish fishes as Folco Quilici and his cast of skin-divers would like you to believe, but the film is pleasantly instructive on the techniques and equipment of underwater exploration, the colour photography’ is effective and the sharks, circling the divers with occasional whip-crack flicks of the tail, are as ominous as ever.
