Just noticed that Amazon has posted the cover for Paramount's upcoming release of The Red Tent:



Any fans of this excellent retelling of Nobile's failed arctic exploration out there? It was Russian director Mikhail Kalatozov's final film and boasts an outstanding international cast: Claudia Cardinale, Sean Connery, Peter Finch, Hardy Kruger, etc. The only thing I don't care much for is the weird flashback structure, but it's well worth checking out.

Nobody a fan of this movie?

It has a fine Ennio Morricone score, if that makes any difference.



(I promise no more bumping this message until the DVD is released.)

I remember actually seeing that film when it first came out.

Interesting flick, but as you say, the flashbacks were a bit
hard to follow at times.
