Le voyage au Groenland

Dunno why but sounds like the French filmmakers are probably the best in making this kind of 'cool comedy' for the lack of a better phrase!? :D

this is surely not the kind of movie you'd find selling hundreds of thousands in any global currency ... (not even in French Franks for sure, much less to sell in millions and certainly NOT in billions!) but for those who do 'understand' this sub-genre of (let's call it French-) comedy, it is quite enjoyable especially with the rather odd and somewhat rare choice of location and dealing with a small colony of a perhaps declining-in-numbers ethnic people others around the world know little to nothing about ...

not so curiously, even though this is a comedy movie, you wouldn't find many OBVIOUS funny scenes in it really but the few that are there, are worthy enough of a memorable watch ...

I came very close to absolutely falling in love with this film. A slightly unsatisfactory ending and underdeveloped relationship took something away from making it a truly remarkable film.

Despite that, I loved feeling like I had been transported to beautiful Greenland. In many ways, the landscapes of Greenland felt like the most prominent and well-developed character in the entire film. The cinematography was beautiful and constantly left me in awe.

Journey to Greenland often felt like a travelogue or documentary. I loved the slice-of-life vibe of it all and small, close-knit community atmosphere. I also found myself laughing out loud numerous times throughout the movie. The cultural barriers and fish-out-of-water aspects provided much of the humour.

If you're into French comedy or have an interest in Greenland, I highly recommend this film. Underrated little movie and a good reason to have Greenland on my bucket list.

The script is clever and kind. Thomas and Thomas give us a window into inuit culture in Greenland, which is lovely, but mainly this movie is about connection. It offers us lovely pause and reflection.

This is a heart warming beautiful movie. Very Peaceful and funny at the same time.

What a wonderful way to discover Greenland with this touching story !

Great casting !

Recommend viewing.
