Another damn good movie nominated
for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy this year and what a treat it was
as I got a damn good DVD print. It surely isn’t coming to our part of the world
any sooner hence I had to do this and I am glad I did it, even wifey loved it
big time and both of us were hooked to it for the most of 120 of its running
time. A maverick ethnographer sets on a journey to prove his theory that people
from South America drifted and settled in Polynesia
around 1500 years ago. When his research and theory which takes him 10 years in
writing isn’t picked up and accepted by anyone in the society, he leaves his
wife and two kids alone to do this with a handful of people. What follows is a
visual treat and a solid adventure on board a small hand made raft using old
original techniques that too in the year 1947. They travel a distance of about
6900 KM in about 101 days across Pacific Ocean .
If your idea of a perfect movie is an adventure trip like that – you are going
to love this one big time. What an amazing journey and the way it’s all shot,
awesome cinematography and fantastic narration. It became one of the most
expensive as well as most the highest grossing Norwegian film ever. Not to be
missed by adventure movie lovers – it’s a total treat.
