Utvandrarna, 1971
The Flight of the Eagle (1982). In 1897 Swedish engineer S. A. Andrée with 2 colleagues prepares to fly over the North Pole in his balloon "Eagle".
The cinematography of this is so staggeringly haunting that it feels seared into my memory already - not just in the profound shots of North Pole isolation, but in the energy and life of the Sweden that the three men have left behind in their search for adventure and legacy. Overall, the film takes a minute to get going, but once it does, it feels relentless in the way these sorts of movies should, with just the right tinge of horror to sell the - - well - - horror of the situation. It's pretty great. 8/10.
