Review: March of the Penguins
If your heart is too hard to appreciate a baby-penguin mosh-pit, then perhaps you need this film more than most. It certainly seemed to be the most popular show at the multiplex today.
Visuals are so spectacular that sometimes I thought they must be CG but that's not very likely coming from National Geographic.
The use of 4:3 aspect-ratio struck me as odd for a landscape that screamed for a wider format. Images from the web site give me the impression it was shot on 16mm and the blow-up was grainy at times. Not sure how HD cameras would hold up in that extreme environment.
Mr. Simon calls it the best film of the summer. Tough to argue against that.
