SOUDAIN, SEULS (SUDDENLY)
Based on a book by a woman who sailed round the world and who works for WWF.
Watchable. Shot in Iceland and Bretagne, I don't know where the penguins, which represent an island somewhere on the Southern Ocean, came from. The survival drama is far more engaging than the overlong relationship conversation or the cliche of the woman finding out she's pregnant. The movie doesn't explain why the rescue didn't come, instead it's a polar romance and a relationship drama. While the woman is impressively strong physically, mentally she's weak, as exemplified by her coming to terms with her partner's betrayal - the plot perpetuates the stereotype where a man's unfaithfulness is always forgiven. Some shots are breathtaking, especially in the last 40 minutes, when the landscapes are in the fog or of icebergs.
