On paper, the topic was exciting and never treated in the literature (at least in French translation) on arrival, it's a total failure: it's very badly written to the point of being sometimes pure gibberish, especially in descriptions of places or climates, unfortunately ubiquitous; it is very psychologizing: no one learns much about the weather, only the soul of the characters states, paradoxically very "formatted uniens-states" (it flat on all this very American redemption hints); and last but it is very very confusing: it does not understand much about the behavior and motivations of one or the autres.J'espére that Redford has drawn even when a good movie, much reworking the script ...
