Right, here's a tough one that's been bugging me for years and years. See if the good folk of RAB can rise to the challenge.
Scene setter....
Late 70s, early 80s sat in the front room of my Granny's house in Scotland. TV on, only me watching it. Mid-afternoon, so not post watershed.
Fragmentary memories of the film....
- think I'm describing the end really, or at least the final third.
- contemporary time period
- colour film, probably 70s/80s
- drama
- two men. One white, one black. I think there's been a shipwreck. They're drifting on a lifeboat/fragment of the wreck.
- dialogue and discussions between them. I remember the mood being contemplative/maudlin.
- I think there might have been shark incidents. I've got a vague memory of an injured/bandaged leg.
- main memory....film finishes on a downbeat mood, with them still drifting. Playing over the end credits is El Condor Pasa (if I could), by Simon & Garfunkel
- Film enRAB, leaving my nine year old self inexplicably tearful and moved. Can't remember my emotions properly, or why specifically the film made me feel how it did. I just remember an overwhelming feeling of sadness and despondency.
What do you reckon? Is there anyone on here that can piece these fragments together into a film? Box of maltesers in the post to anyone who does!
