About This Movie

Brise-glace is an intriguing collaborative project where three directors take on the Swedish icebreaker 'Frej' in their own unique ways. The film unfolds as an experimental documentary, which adds a layer of creativity and unpredictability. Each segment possesses its distinct tone and atmosphere, creating a somewhat fragmented but engaging viewing experience. There's this rough, raw quality to the visuals, which really highlights the cold environment and the ship's formidable presence. You’d notice the pacing shifts quite a bit, sometimes lingering on the ice's beauty and other times zooming into the machinery at work. It all feels quite immersive, a bit like you're there with the crew, witnessing their relationship with the ice and sea. A fascinating exploration that stands apart from standard documentaries.
