The movie is a splendid adaptation of Conrad’s novel. The story of a voyage with a sick crew with an incomparable sense of detail and rhythm, that which initially seemed a sea adventure, becomes an internal adventure. This masterpiece tells that being a man does not mean that one must give spectacular proof of courage or undergo dangerous experiences; it means that one can cope with unexpected situations, has patience, is able to listen to himself and feel empathy for others. It is a film about infinite peace.
