Misleading adaptation but still worthy

This movie took only a few elements from Loti's novel and therefore might be disappointing for people who expect a faithful adaptation. It doesn't prevent "Pêcheur d'Islande" to be a fine, popular movie without a dull moment. The cinematography by Raoul Coutard - who worked extensively with Jean-Luc Godard - is a pleasure to watch, the soundtrack by the underrated composer Louiguy is quite enjoyable and, most of all, all the actors are convincing enough, especially the main parts played by Jean-Claude Pascal, veteran Charles Vanel and the young Juliette Mayniel. If you understand a little French don't miss it as it is available on YouTube, at least at the time I'm writing this review.
