In the Heart of the Sea
Hollywood's latest riff on Moby-Dick; based on Nathaniel Philbrick's book In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex, Ron Howard's film aims to tell the true story that inspired Melville's novel. In the Heart of the Sea clocks in at only two hours, but those two hours feel long enough to reread Moby-Dick.
