OK. We’re sick of politics. I, for one can never get sick of The Octopus – and by that, I don’t mean the “vast, interlocking network of criminal conspiracy that reaches into every branch and agency of the US government, many other national governments, and every sector of our societies,” as the late (suicided) Danny Casolaro, investigative journalist called it.
I mean the large mollusks capable of abstract thinking but whose short lifespans range from 5 years and 6 months.
From Spain to Vancouver Island and finally to Capri, Italy, this film follows scientists as they try to understand how the octopus has evolved to have such intelligence, even by our bone-headed human standards.
