Life of Pi*** (PG)
(Odeon Colchester)
A zookeeper's son relates his fantastic story of survival when shipwrecked with only a handful of the animals, in particular a savage Bengal tiger.
Successfully translated version of an "unfilmable" novel, thanks to Ang Lee's sympathetic characterisation of both animals and humans through some excellent CGI (experience garnered from The Hulk) and also making excellent use of 3-D. The climactic alternative narrative for the story leaves readers (and filmgoers) with the potential way out for a "rational" explanation, which makes the film just as moving. A good thoughtful way to round off 2012.
d: Ang Lee
s: Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Rafe Spall, Adil Hussain, Tabu, Shravanthi Sainath, Gerard Depardieu
