Jump
An elegantly shot and edited portrait...brilliantly told and rich in surprises, 'The Jump' is surely one of this year’s unmissable non-fiction titles.
-- Davide Abbatescianni, Cineuropa
The Jump
In 1970, off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard in choppy seas during a tense standoff, Lithuanian sailor Simas Kudirka jumped from his Soviet vessel to a U.S. Coast Guard cutter, desperate for asylum – a daring leap for freedom straight into one of the Cold War’s most bewildering political missteps.
“...the lively nature of the film’s protagonist and his extraordinary life story is The Jump’s greatest asset, making it…inspirational.” — Marko Stojilković, Ubiquariuan.com
“...darkly ebullient...kind of a Werner Herzog character — odd, endearing, and gamely enduring the absurdities of life.” — Peter Keough, Boston Globe
