spacetime coordinates: 2012 southern Louisiana bayou community called the “Bathtub” (a community cut off from the rest of the world by a levee)
Beasts of the Southern Wild is a 2012 American drama film co-written, co-scored and directed by Benh Zeitlin. It was adapted by Zeitlin and Lucy Alibar from Alibar’s one-act play Juicy and Delicious.
…Meanwhile, in the Arctic, the frozen Aurochs in an ice shelf start drifting into the ocean…
The fictional island of the film, “Isle de Charles Doucet” known to its residents as the Bathtub, was inspired by several isolated and independent fishing communities threatened by erosion, hurricanes and rising sea levels in Louisiana’s Terrebonne Parish, most notably the rapidly eroding Isle de Jean Charles. It was filmed in Terrebonne Parish town Montegut.
