GREENLAND, IN THE WAKE OF COMMANDER CHARCOT

With its subtle visual language, meditative rhythm, and emotional restraint, this film transcends ecological commentary. It’s a visual essay on memory and loss.

It feels like standing at the edge of that glacier yourself. The film offers a rare chance to see the Earth without humans, yet through deeply human eyes.

I appreciated how the documentary portrayed science not as sterile data but as a living adventure, full of discoveries, mistakes, and wonder. It’s almost a poem about curiosity.

The ice in this film isn’t just ice, it’s time itself. It cracks, flows, and disappears. The film is about humanity’s attempt to understand time through stone, microbes, and memory.

A very, very, very beautiful film! Beautiful in every sense. The landscapes and cinematography are breathtaking — truly from another world. It grabs your attention and doesn’t let go. The people in the film are incredible — passionate about their work and exploring nature in the most remote locations. The story intertwines with modern research and urgent global issues, creating a foundation for the future. Thank you!

Beautifully shot and interestingly told, though a bit slow. But it made me google Charcot and the Arctic afterward, so it definitely got me hooked.

This film is a quiet yet powerful cry for help. The ice melts, memory fades, and only people like the film’s protagonists still know how to listen to the Earth.

The film masterfully bridges past and present, the romance of exploration meets the anxiety of climate change. The archival traces become metaphors of Earth’s memory.

This is one of those films that restores your faith in the power of documentary cinema. Minimalist, sincere, and deeply respectful of its subject.

Charcot’s story feels prophetic here. He couldn’t have known that a century later, his samples would hold the key to understanding climate crises.
