The Surfer Blu-Ray   Vertigo Films

In Lorcan Finnegan’s surreal psychological thriller, a man (Nicolas Cage) returns to the idyllic beach of his childhood to surf with his son — only to be thwarted by the locals’ hardcore “don’t live here, don’t surf here” rule.

Bitter but determined to surf his beach — and buy the house nearby, where he grew up — the man suffers tribulations of body and soul that push him to his limits. A meditation on punishment, temptation, and salvation, The Surfer burns deep.
