Review

The Emperor penguin traverses Antarctica, heading into icy desolation, leaving the bounty of the sea; they march by the thousands to gather in an empty, barren plain, to court and mate, procreate and nurture their young. Both male and female fast to the point of starvation and share the responsibilities of caring for their progeny. All face deadly predators and merciless weather. When spring arrives, those who survive return to the sea, brought closer as the coastline recedes in the wake of melting ice. The film resounds in a deep, universal core of ancestral and atavistic memory. In some Jungian construct, the saga of this noble creature lends significance to the casual absurdities of human existence. The emotional response is soon followed by an intense respect for the filmmakers, who worked in hurricanes of snow, in bone-chilling temperatures, in a landscape devoid of sustenance or comfort. Arresting visuals delineate this compelling tale of survival and familial devotion, narrated with soothing charm by Morgan Freeman. The March of the Penguins is a surprising delight, providing profound satisfaction and a felicitous sense of well-being.
