The French premiere of the brilliantly promising film ‘L’odyssée’, which tells the life story of the legendary Jaques Yves Cousteau, is scheduled for 12 October 2016. Not much is still known about the production itself, but we have managed to get to some interesting information that will give us some idea of what to expect when we go to the cinema.
The role of the French traveller and explorer will be played by Lambert Wilson, known to a wider audience for his role of Merowing in “Matrix Reactivation” and “Matrix Revolutions”. He will be accompanied by Audrey Tautou, who will play the role of Simone Costeau. In turn, Pierre Niney and Chloe Hirschman will play Philippe and Jan Cousteau.
It is the summer of 1946. The Cousteau family – Jaques, his wife Simone and two sons – live in their beautiful house on the shores of the Mediterranean. They dive during the day and watch the stars at night. Their life seems like paradise on Earth. But Jaques is still not satisfied. The urge for adventure and the desire to explore are still with him. Armed with his invention, the aqualung, he sets off on board the vessel “Calypso” to conquer the seas and oceans.
The film is directed by Jérôme Salle, for whom this will be the sixth film in his career. Previously, he was behind the camera of such productions as “Anthony Zimmer” (César award nomination for the best debut) later turned into “The Tourist”, starring Deep and Jolie, two parts about the adventures of “Largo Winch”, as well as an interesting crime film “Zulu” starring Orlando Bloom and Forest Whitaker.
The script of “Odyssey” was created by Jérôme Salle and Laurent Turner, in collaboration with Jean-Michel Cousteau and Albert Falco – authors of a biographical book about Jaques Cousteau.
The film was shot between 7 September 2015 and 8 January 2016 in many picturesque locations scattered around the globe. The 120-minute screening will visit the lands and seas of France, Croatia, South Africa, Argentina, Brazil and frigid Antarctica.
Both the trailer and the first frames made available to the general public allow us to hope that the time spent in the cinema will not be wasted. The beauty of the underwater world and the incredible life story of a pioneer and one of its greatest explorers form an unusual combination here.
