Nyad

Description

By Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, Jimmy Chin. With Jodie Foster, Annette Bening, Rhys Ifans. Currents, jellyfish, sharks: Diana Nyad (Annette Bening) must overcome many obstacles to swim from Cuba to Florida – a 177-kilometer journey. The film tells how, at over 60 years old, the athlete embarks on her fifth attempt, training with her former partner and best friend Bonnie Stoll (Jodie Foster). Rich in underwater shots by Life of Pi's cinematographer Claudio Miranda, this biopic allows its two main actresses to play on the contrast between two personalities. "And this is perhaps the key to this almost fusion-like friendship: one’s tireless temperament, and the unchanging nature of the other. Exploring this privileged relationship proves as captivating as the heroine’s feats" (François Lévesque, Le Devoir, 2023). USA · 2023 · 121' · v. o. s-t fr. - format: DC@CAP 2 – Capitole, Salle Lucienne Schnegg (CAP 2) - indicative price: 10.-
