Lunker Lake

1998-12-12 · Runtime unavailable · ★ 9.0

Family

A puppet-starring fish story. When their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, a mother and son wind up in Lunker Lake, a small fishing community that "you've got to be lost to find." The town is abuzz over the upcoming fishing contest, since the winner gets to decide the water level of the lake for the coming year. Naturally, there's a mean, rich bad guy in town who wants to win by any unscrupulous means possible so he can flood the town for his own advantage. But the town's best fishermen -- with the help of the newcomers -- may yet prevail.

Only the River Knows2012Family

The main part of the film takes place by the legendary Lethe River on New Zealand’s wild and wondrous South Island. Back in 1988, one of the most iconic fly fishers of our time, Lars Lenth, spent three months exploring the fabled river and fishing for its abnormally large trout. At night, he would sit down in a remote cabin and write down his experiences in a journal. Nearly 25 years later, the young trout bum Rolf Nylinder looses his way in the wilderness near Lethe. By chance, he finds the long-lost journal, full of insights about the very soul of fly fishing. Along with Rolf on the trip is documentarist Peter Christensen, filming their mostly failing attempts to catch trout, and Rolf’s ever-growing interest in the wisdom of the journal. The old book becomes a moral compass for Rolf, who gradually becomes more and more obsessed by the poetic adventures Lenth wrote down in a dreamy past. Destiny forces the two fly fishers together, but what will happen when their worlds collide?
