The foundational text. The Rosetta Stone of Dream Blunt Rotation. The one you've all been waiting for.

SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN!

What is there to say. The name speaks for itself. But will provide some context.

Made in 2011, it's Emily's last rotation (for now) and her scene partner has appeared on the podcast before, Moulin Rouge's Ewen McGregor.

A fisheries expert is approached by a consultant to help realize a sheik’s vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert and embarks on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible possible. (Letterboxd)

Did you know Salmon Fishing isn't some bizarre improbable true story, it's just totally made up? It was the debut of author Paul Torday who was aged 60! A big fan of salmon fishing and having lived a life of bureaucracy, he decided to write a comic novel and turned into a smash hit. We'll glad he was able to watch his efforts be turned into a film before his death in 2013.

See whether this relatively forgotten film is a fish flop or a surprise catch with our latest Mixed Bag.
