Director Luc Jacquet – which is not more praised by a classification team with patience, skill and dedication necessary to capture these unforgettable images in cinema – has a simple but compelling story that is as focused and dignified as the penguins . He draws us into his world and celebrates its unyielding determination, which makes caring for a surprising degree of duck creatures.
