SCOTT’S LAST JOURNEY
John Read
United Kingdom / 1962 / 58'
Faithful cinematic and photographic reconstruction of the last expedition to the South Pole attempted by Robert Falcon Scott in 1912.
He had set out from New Zealand, crossed the Antarctic Ocean, and gone as far as the "pack" that legend had it still populated with prehistoric animals and monsters.
This reenactment fifty years after the fact, performed by one of the survivors, Martin Crisholm, who personally recounts the highlights, is extremely rigorous and well documented.
