Big River Man Slovenian Martin Strel weighs 200 pounds, eats countless fast food meals—including horse-meat burgers—and drinks two bottles of wine a day. He is also the only person to have ever swum both the Mississippi River and the Yangtze. This doc, shot by his son, tracks his progress as he attempts, at age 53, to swim the length of the Amazon. Crocodiles, piranha and other deadly creatures confront him every league of the way, and there is an interesting—though predictably inchoate—environmental message that crops up toward the end. Aside from the necessarily amateur camerawork, this is an interesting observation of a man intent on making an intrepid journey.

Followers of Maringouin's impressive, disturbing feature debut, Running Stumbled, may not spot the filmmaker's touch in the brightly amusing first 30 minutes, but gradually, as the 52-year-old Martin ventures deep downstream and flirts with his physical limits, the disorienting strangeness of Running seeps into Big River Man, resulting in something much darker than a merely amusing promo reel for the Slovenian swimmer.
