Voyage au bout de la terre

Une jolie narration, avec un esprit d'enquête, des images de synthèse et un maquillage remarquable ainsi qu'une performance d'acteur impressionnante de Pål Sverre Hagen. Cependant, il y a un peu de stagnation dans la représentation de la complexité de la personnalité d'Amundsen. Surtout à travers le personnage de Katherine Waterston, qui nous guide avec le frère d'Amundsen à travers son histoire. Comme si elle était vissée dans le scénario en tant qu'élément féminin inévitable, uniquement pour défendre ses bonnes qualités humaines. Cependant, le film dit le moins possible sur sa relation avec Amundsen et décrit plutôt sa relation avec une autre femme. (02/05/2021)

A biography of the man who was the first to set foot on the South Pole and who disregarded his loved ones for his voyages of discovery. But rather than an adventure piece, expect a drama, whose hero is an unfortunately unapproachable stubborn man, with whom the two-hour running time drags quite a bit. Neither his family nor the director could find a way to reach him. (27/12/2019)

The great biopic Amundsen is one of the biggest surprises of the season. The film, which no one expected, is absolutely riveting. The excellent co-production of the Nordic countries also took in film workers from the Czech Republic and a remarkable experience was created. Anyone who, like me, was tired of the new style of biographies in which we experience only a miniature slice of a person's life with the person we are following, can now be delighted. Here, we experience Roald Amundsen's entire rich life. This legendary pioneer among polar explorers experienced many ups and downs, but his life is interpreted differently from the Norwegian perspective, and differently from the English. Fortunately, we can supplement our experience of the endless ice plains by reading some of Amundsen's memoirs. (12/01/2020)
