Incredible piece of contemporary French cinema
Unfulfilled dream, impossible and unrealistic story - but beautifully told.
Through the whole film I was on the edge of my seat, because the story grabs you in the beginning and doesn't let you go till the very end. I felt fully invested in this film and the music score helps a lot with building the right atmosphere. Also although I am no expert in space technology, I felt that all of the tech-talk, tools and space ships materials etc. Felt realistic and because of that it actually became quite believable. And I must admit I actually shed a tear in the end because of how moving and touching it was.
I can imagine this story being made into a Hollywood blockbuster or even a comedy, but director Nicolas Giraud lends this picture an intimate and modest, yet elaborate feel.
As a benefit I must also mention a great performance by Mathieu Kassovitz in the supporting role.
It actually became one of my favourite movies of the year.
