L'ATALANTE is, in my opinion, not half bad. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Watched it because it was the ranking film in the They Shoot Films Don't They 1000 list I had yet to see. What can I say? Most of the films so honored make the case for their placement obvious. This, while not without charms, did not.
I think the big mistake is making the husband a grump and a dick in almost every scene, then making the movie about getting them back together. Did not care about that a bit, don't think it's going to work out with them either way.
Let him get fired (he almost does) and then have her rejoin the boat and find that a) it's now commanded by the far more kind and interesting Père Jule; and b) she actually prefers that arrangement.
