Amundsen

Muy bien narrada, con espíritu explorador, buen CGI y maquillaje y una notable actuación de Pål Sverre Hagen. Pero se queda un poco corto a la hora de retratar el complejo carácter de Amundsen. Principalmente a través del personaje Katherine Waterston, que, junto con el hermano de Amundsen, nos guía por su historia. Es como si la hubieran introducido en el guión como un elemento femenino inevitable, solo para defender sus buenas cualidades humanas. Sin embargo, la película dice muy poco sobre su relación con Amundsen y más bien describe su relación con otra mujer. (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)
