Russell's divers arrive too late at the submarine, finding the entire hull flooded and the crew dead. In the film, the British and Norwegian navies are shown offering assistance – a drive led by Colin Firth’s Commodore David Russell – but in truth offers were also extended from the US, France, and other nations.

Kursk: what really happened in the submarine disaster? Kursk: what really happened in the submarine disaster?

On 17 August 2015, it was announced that EuropaCorp was developing a film based on the 2000 K-141 Kursk submarine disaster, and that Martin Zandvliet had been hired to direct the film from a script by Robert Rodat, based on Robert Moore's 2002 book A Time to Die.What sank the Kursk was, in the immediate aftermath, the subject of various conspiracy theories – some propagated by the Russians themselves – which claimed everything from a collision with US spy vessel to unexploded Second World War mines and mystery missiles aboard the sub had caused the tragedy. When a practice torpedo explodes inside the nuclear-powered vessel, the submersible becomes rooted at the bottom of the Barents Sea.

Minutes With is a podcast that has a variety of different shows that cover all aspects of movies, music, video games, television and live events.Meanwhile, on dry land, Averin’s wife, Tanya (Lea Seydoux) tries to battle the authorities for information. The film was scheduled to be released through DirecTV Cinema on 23 May 2019, before being released in a limited release on 21 June 2019, by Saban Films. The deadlock causes anguish for the relatives and loved ones, in particular Tanya (Seydoux) whose husband Mikhail (Schoenaerts) is captain of the Kursk. The K-141 Kursk was an Oscar-class sub, with a double hull and nine watertight compartments, reportedly powerful enough to withstand a torpedo hit. However, the Russian government, despite the offers coming from the international community refused help and wasted valuable time.

As the sailors fight for survival, their families desperately battle political obstacles and impossible odds to save them. On 2 March 2016, Matthias Schoenaerts was announced in the cast, reteaming with Vinterberg after Far from the Madding Crowd (2015).

Given the budget and the ensuing expectations, Kursk exists in that familiar movie universe where Russian characters are played by Belgian, French, German and Swedish actors, all of whom speak English throughout. Of course the longer this went on for and relied on international assistance, the more it exposed the falability of the Russian military might. The most notable, and successful, of these is Vinterberg’s decision to play with the screen ratio, only widening it out when the Kursk is submerged, and elsewhere, he employs intimate camerawork in the scenes between the men both above and below sea level, an independent touch in a broader picture, and some eerily effective views of the water that surrounds the ailing sub. The official report was put together by Vladimir Ustinov and he admits that was the most likely cause.

Review: Kursk-The Last Mission - 60 Minutes With

Some scenes were filmed with Colin Firth at the commercial port of Brest, France, between 2 May and 6 May 2017, including scenes aboard the rescue ship Atlantic Tonjer, [23] serving as the Seaway Eagle. Time is running out for Russian Captain Mikhail Averin (Matthias Schoenaerts) and his crew, as fire engulfs the vessel starving them of oxygen. But, as depicted in the film, the once-powerful Russian Navy was vastly depleted and under crippling financial strain by 2000. Script-wise, it’s standard disaster-movie shenanigans (a Poseidon Adventure-style hold-your-breath swim told in one long epic take) with a little bit of old school World War I camaraderie (there’s a few sing-songs).On the one hand, this is a traditional tale of jeopardy, a rescue bid to save the lives of those who survive when an explosion sends a submarine to the seabed. The film accurately portrays what is now accepted to have really happened: a hydrogen peroxide leak in one of the sub’s HTP (high test peroxide) torpedoes. A secondary explosion of the remaining torpedoes rips a hole through the submarine's forward hull, sending the ship to the sea bed. In the final act of Thomas Vinterberg’s fiery retelling of the devastating Kursk submarine disaster of 2000, his fictional protagonist Mikhail Kalekov, played by Matthias Schoenaerts, asks a chilling question.
