The Shipping News (2001)


I thought this was an excellent movie about the triumph of the human spirit over depression and despair. Kevin Spacey plays a character who is depressed because of his terrible father and background but he somehow redeems himself in a fight with nature going back to the splendid nature of New Foundland (no idea where that is, by the way). Lasse Halmstrøm exploits the terrific ocean and mountain scenery very well. Spacey is as usually brilliant. I didn't once think about him as the serial killer of Se7en, ha ha. No, this is a movie with something so primitive as a "morale": namely that "even a broken man can heal". Anyway, if someone knows where New Foundland is, drop me a message...
