(Documentary) Movie of the Day: Icare, ou la mesure des choses (2021) by Patric Jean

In the Mediterranean, a place that is both real and fictional. Where Icarus jumped from and burned his wings. Where liners, fishermen, migrants fleeing disaster, rescuers and scientists studying the consequences of global warming on the sea bed meet. Where signs are revealed: has our capacity to measure and interpret the world not fallen into a technological excess that loses its meaning for human beings and causes us to burn our wings? What would Euclid and Thales say about the rising seas? How would they judge our cynicism?
