Amundsen

Szépen elmesélve, felfedező szellemben, jó CGI képekkel és sminkkel, valamint Pål Sverre Hagen figyelemre méltó alakításával. Amundsen összetett jellemének bemutatásában azonban kissé alulmarad. Először is Katherine Waterston karakterén keresztül, aki Amundsen testvérével együtt végigvezeti a történetét. Olyan, mintha elkerülhetetlen női elemként csavarozták volna bele a forgatókönyvbe, csak azért, hogy igazolja a főszereplő jó emberi tulajdonságait. A film azonban nagyon keveset mond az Amundsenhez fűződő kapcsolatáról, és inkább egy másik nővel folytatott kapcsolatot mutatja be. (2021.05.02)

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. (2019.12.27)

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. (2020.01.12)
