A vast sea of nothingness

Formentor - "The Sea of Words" is a documentary, portraying the history of Formentor hotel, located by the beach, between rocky hills, in the northeast part of Mallorca. Starting from telling the stories of the people who had conceived it, built it, and ran it, -and those who come to visit- it features some interesting tidbits, but eventually, the story gets lost in the sea, without much chance of returning safe to the harbor. Unfocused, relying too heavily on one-too-many outtakes from live piano/orchestra/opera concerts, white lilies shots and drone pictures, it eventually becomes somewhat of a pompous and pretentious promotion of the establishment. It's a real shame, because there is a clearly a lot of history - if the makers stepped back to regain focus, remove what's nothing but a filler, this could be a much better offer.

Fascinating & interesting documentary about a beautiful part of the world.

Really interesting history about Formentor, probably more so as I live very near.Was fascinating to learn about the history of the hotel; the only hotel ever built there. The people who were connected to it and the famous, infamous & the tourists it's attracted over the years.
