  • Les aventures extraordinaires d’Adèle Blanc-Sec

    DIRECTOR: Luc Besson
    CAST: Louise Bourgoin, Mathieu Amalric Gilles Lellouche
    This French adventure film by Luc Besson is the European equivalent of Indiana Jones, but instead of Harrison Ford, there is a female protagonist. And she probably is best thing about the film. For the rest it is nothing but a Hollywood rip-off. Nonetheless, if you are a hardcore genre lover, you will probably appreciate it. I have never been a huge fan of Luc Besson (only Leon was not all bad), but he has been incredibly successful, so there must be something there. Read more

  • Xingu

    DIRECTOR: Cao Hamburger
    CAST: João Miguel Felipe Camargo Caio Blat
    I almost forgot about seeing this one, but it is of course a film that fits the strict adventure genre definition like a glove. It is a Brazilian adventure film of 2012 directed by Cao Hamburger, who most people know because of the art house hit The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (2006). In a sense the film is a Brazilian version of Dances with Wolves, but instead of Kevin Kostner we are following the activist Villas-Bôas brothers who undertake an expedition into the Xingu River territory where they encounter the local native Indian tribes, eventually building the very first reservation for Indians. The film is not the most balanced-out film on the list, but it is definitely worth the watch because it is said to stay very true to history. Read more

  • Kon-Tiki

    DIRECTOR: Joachim Rønning, Espen Sandberg
    CAST: Pål Sverre Hagen Anders Baasmo Christiansen Gustaf Skarsgård
    The two Norwegian filmmakers responsible for Kon-Tiki have not gone unnoticed by Hollywood. They have been snatched up to direct the fifth installment in the American adventure film franchise: The Pirates of the Caribbean (2015). This new gig will undoubtedly make them lose all of their interesting edges, but even Kon-Tiki already feels like a Hollywood film. But it would be unfair to completely equate it to a run of the mill action/adventure flick. The story itself is intriguing, and the cinematography is spectacular. Kon-Tiki is an adventure story pur sang, it is based on true events, and is about legendary explorer Thor Heyerdal who undertook a dangerous crossing of the pacific on only a wooden raft. Not just for laughs, but to prove that it was possible for South Americans to settle in Polynesia in pre-Columbian times. Read more

  • The Wind Rises

    DIRECTOR: Hayao Miyazaki
    CAST: Hideaki Anno Hidetoshi Nishijima Miori Takimoto
    I wont expound on this one too much, as it is already written about extensively online. Released in Japan in 2013, and since it is a Hayao Miyazaki film highly anticipated, it is said to have lived up to everyone’s expectations. I have not been able to see it yet (it will be released here in 2014), but reviews describe it as Miyazaki’s most mature animated film so far. Most people are familiar with his work, and if not, then I can recommend the animated adventure film Spirited Away (2001). The Wind Rises tells the adventurous life story of Jiro Horikoshi, the man responsible for the design of Japanese fighter planes used in the Second World War. As these planes were used for Pearl Harbour, the film initially stirred up quite a controversy, but most people have simply fallen in love with it. Read more

    DIRECTOR: Jean-Pierre Jeunet

    I have to admit that I am no fan of Jeunet, but a lot of people love his work. It is rather diverse, from very dark comedies like Delicatessen (1990) to more cheerful films like Amelie (2001), and his new film Spivet (2013). Very much in style of Amelie, but more suited for kids, we follow a 12-year old cartographer who leaves home without anyone knowing, and travels across the country to receive an award for his work from a prestigious institute.

Inevitably connected with high expenses, these big-budget projects, shot on exotic locations with excessive decor and special effects, feel like risky business ventures. But the fact of the matter is, is that when marketed correctly you can hardly go wrong. If there is insufficient box office revenue, you are sure to make up for it with merchandise and whatnot. As long as you are able to reach a very large audience. And this is where it gets difficult when making foreign language adventure films (read non-english films). Most countries are simply to small. This has become particularly evident when you look at the most recent foreign adventure flicks. A great case in point is the Norwegian adventure feature film Kon-Tiki (2012) which was commercially successful worldwide. Norway is tiny with about 5 million people, but it reached audiences globally because it was filmed in both in Norwegian and English. And the 2014 Russian adventure film Viy 3D is spoken entirely in English. Norway is a bit of the exception, as it are especially foreign countries with high population numbers we need to be looking at hoping for big productions. Countries like France, Germany, Spain (with South-America as its Spanish-language market) Russia, China, Japan, Brazil, and a few more. So what is out there for adventure fans? When we go back in history to look at the best foreign adventure films of all time, you will find that they were exceptionally exotic, romantic and captivating. Of course, films spring to mind like German director Werner Herzog’s Fitzcarraldo (1983) and Aguirre: Wrath of God (1972), France’s master filmmaker Jean Renoir’s Grand Illusion (1937), or the Japanese films by Kurosawa, mainly The Hidden Fortress (1958). And then of course, you have British adventure films like Lawrence of Arabia (1962) (and a large number of other British empire films). I can already tell you that such masterpieces were not produced in the 2010’s. Where the above films were original pieces, the filmmakers of the latest adventure flicks (especially the French director Luc Besson) tend to simply imitate the Hollywood adventure formula, but usually do not quite get it under their belt. Actually, high-brow film lovers best look away now, as this article will represent a terribly commercial list with films that are not great, but are unmistakably brave attempts at a difficult genre
