“At times, a strong drama about the known ubåtsolycka”
“Directed by Thomas Vinterberg, with Matthias Schoenaerts, Léa Seydoux, Colin Firth, August Diehl.”
“It is one of the all-time most well-known submarine accidents.”
“But even if you know the end, Thomas Vinterberg managed to make the drama quite exciting.”
“the Danish director Thomas Vinterberg is best when he is filming on his home turf. As in pioneering the Dogma movie ”the Celebration” (1998), ”the Hunt” (2012) and ”the Collective” (2016). The international the films have not been as personal, but more artisan skillfully made stories like rather felt the ”skilled” than touched on so much.n”Kursk” has been based on a real story. The Russian had set the K-141 Kursk ports in the year 2000 on the bottom of the ocean after an accident on board. Matthias Schoenaerts plays ubåtskaptenen that keeps hope alive among his men. Léa Seydoux is his wife, which leads fruarnas fight at home in order to speed up the bailouts. Peter Simonischek (”My father Toni Erdmann”) is the command that tries to convince senior military officers (one of them harshly played by Max von Sydow) on the importance of to save life rather than to keep the secret of the submarine load. Colin Firth is the head of a british ship who would be happy to help.nVinterberg korsklipper skilfully between these different playing fields. Good actor, after a while, one forgets that all the different nationalities speak English with a Russian accent. Gustaf Hammarsten and Pernilla August has supporting roles. And the film becomes better, the less you know about the real events.”
