Summary: Based on the gripping true story of the Kursk submarine tragedy of 2000 in which 188 men lost their lives, Kursk: The Last Mission is a tense submarine thriller from critically- acclaimed director Thomas Vinterberg ( The Hunt, Far From the Madding Crowd). When a Russian naval exercise goes horribly wrong, the Kursk submarine erupts in flame killing most of the men onboard and sending the trapped survivors to the bottom of sea.

What to know

The film is brilliant and it has one of best British actors in it Colin Frith making it a must see and its based on real storey. It is odd that he’s not portrayed,” says Grove. “He received a high degree of criticism for not having a more visible hands-on role. He was obviously operating behind the scenes, but after the events he admitted maybe he should have been in Moscow or with the Northern Fleet. If you think about it, we’ve definitely seen more of him since.” Dir Thomas Vinterberg, Pro Ariel Zeitoun, Screenplay Robert Robat, based on the book A Time to Die by Robert Moore, Ph Anthony Dod Mantle, Pro Des Thierry Flamand, Ed Valdis Óskarsdóttir, Music Alexandre Desplat, Costumes Catherine Marchand.

Kursk: what really happened in the submarine disaster? Kursk: what really happened in the submarine disaster?

Captain-Lieutenant Mikhail Averin prepares for an exercise in the Barents Sea by the Russian Northern Fleet. Budget cuts have meant that he and his colleagues have not received their pay in months, but the submariners of the Oscar II-class submarine Kursk still head out into deep waters. However, the exercise does not go to plan. RT @monopolyevents1 Not long left until our next 4 events, @comconmanc , @comconwales @comconnireland and @comconscotlandWerk.Re is an independent entertainment, social propaganda portal for random individuals to chat about the stuff that’s of interest to them. Be that music, film, TV, games, cat videos... The Russian Navy's Northern Fleet begins an exercise in the Barents Sea. The fleet deployed includes Kursk, an Oscar-class submarine. At sea, weapons officer Pavel Sonin reports that the interior temperature of a HTP torpedo is increasing rapidly, indicating a potential hydrogen peroxide leak. The captain however ignores Pavel's concerns and moments later the torpedo prematurely explodes, killing the weapons room crew. A secondary explosion of the remaining torpedoes rips a hole through the submarine's forward hull, sending the ship to the sea bed. It’s an unlikely lurch toward the multiplex for a director who once co-founded the Dogme 95 movement with Lars von Trier and there are some interesting stylistic choices at play. The most notable, and successful, of these is Vinterberg’s decision to play with the screen ratio, only widening it out when the Kursk is submerged, and elsewhere, he employs intimate camerawork in the scenes between the men both above and below sea level, an independent touch in a broader picture, and some eerily effective views of the water that surrounds the ailing sub. It’s not all quite as effective, however. Given the budget and the ensuing expectations, Kursk exists in that familiar movie universe where Russian characters are played by Belgian, French, German and Swedish actors, all of whom speak English throughout. It’s a price to pay for a wider audience and while initially distracting, it could have been far worse (*coughs* Harrison Ford in K-19 *ends coughing*).

The Command - Rotten Tomatoes The Command - Rotten Tomatoes

Russian Shoot of Colin Firth Disaster Movie Postponed". The Hollywood Reporter. 16 August 2016 . Retrieved 14 March 2017. Subject matter experts such as journalist Robert Moore (author of the novel upon which the film is based), David Russell (British Royal Navy commodore who had tried to save the men from the Kursk), and submarine expert Ramsey Martin acted as advisors for the film. [17] Kursk: The Last Mission is a dramatisation of the 2000 K-141 Kursk submarine disaster, where Russian bureaucracy, failing technology, and a series of unfortunate accidents, all came together to claim the lives of 188 men.A real-life incident not far removed from what was depicted in Morning Departure almost led to a cancellation of its release but the film was fictional. In contrast to that, even if it is to some extent a fictionalised version, Kursk is, of course, based on fact. The Kursk was a Russian nuclear-powered submarine which went down in the Barents Sea in 2000 during a major naval exercise. In this film, fresh names have been given to the main characters and no mention is made of the fact that the Russian President who came under fire at the time was one Vladimir Putin. Despite that, the basic facts as presented here appear to be correct. Consequently, the portrayal of Russian inefficiency, the failure to keep the crew’s families informed and the downright false information put out comes across in such a way that it makes Kursk: The Last Mission a political film and one which, having at its heart the way in which nationalist concerns scuppered the international help that was offered, also carries a message against going it alone. On both of its levels this is a film that can be accused of compromise (the Russians speaking in English; the avoidance of any direct mention of Putin), but it is a work of some interest for all that.
