Fidelio: Alice's Journey | Ratings & Reviews

Rotten tomatoes® rating, audience score rating.

"Easily the most fascinating film to come along and challenge traditional gender roles in the past year."

"Even before a snake infiltrates the ship, Borleteau's metaphors aren't subtle, but shes persuasive on the tensions between desire, devotion and duty, and Alice's yearnings rise to the surface with frank complexity."

"A remarkably assured first feature."

"The explosions are subtler than you might expect, and Lebed is superb in the role."

"The whole thing is contrived and just a little preposterous ..."

"Sending a woman around the world to find her anchor may be a nice concept to begin with, but the script of... Fidelio - Alice's Journey lacks the necessary structure to sustain it all through or lead it securely into safe harbour."

"Built four-square around Ariane Labed's engaging turn as eponymous sailor Alice, this feature debut from actress-turned-writer-director Lucie Borleteau strikes a delicate balance between the sensual and the matter-of-fact."

Fidelio: Alice’s Journey

Review by David Jenkins @daveyjenkins

Directed by

Lucie Borleteau

Anders Danielsen Lie Ariane Labed Melvil Poupaud

Anticipation.

Always interested to see what Ms Labed is up to.

She's great in this, though towers above the material.

In Retrospect.

You can see Labed taking over the world in a few years.

Greek actress Ariane Labed shines in this otherwise routine nautical drama of sexual self-fulfilment.

I f the quality of storyline and intensity of drama had been anywhere near the high level of its lead performance by the Greek actress Ariane Labed, then we really might have been on to something with Fidelio: Alice’s Journey . This sensible, sensual and slow burning romance is like an Emmanuaelle stripped of all its lurid passion, leaving little but cold intellectualising about desire, sex and the nature of long-term coupling.

Labed is Alice, the sole female engineer on a freighter who is forced into a long-distance relationship with her Scandinavian land-lubbing boyfriend (Anders Danielsen Lie). They email, they Skype, they pine for one another in various silly ways, but the fact of the matter is that neither party is being truly satisfied with this set-up, and so Alice decides to strike up an arrangement with the ship’s captain (Melvil Poupaud) where he regularly visit her quarters for dirty talk and all the rest.

Much of the film takes place on this ugly vessel, and director Lucie Borleteau and cinematographer Simon Beaufils, don’t come up with a way of imbuing this space with any real atmosphere or character. It even sometimes feels like they’re on a television set when they’re down conducting sexually frank chats in the mess hall. There’s some clunky plot foreshadowing in the early stages when we see just how dangerous working in a ship’s engine room can be, with lower-downs ordered into dangerous situations by unfeeling higher-ups. Indeed, the film opens on a death, which appears to resonate deeply with Alice and may be the reason that she decides to fulfil her insatiable sexual appetite while the getting’s good.

It’s all very middle brow, with much of the dialogue skewing away from naturalism in order to force direct discussions on the film’s broad themes. The remainder of the ensemble, who come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, work well together, and they certainly help when it comes to making Alice’s decision-making process a little more fraught with social and physical peril.

FIDELIO, ALICE'S JOURNEY

Fidelio, l'odyssée d'alice.

Alice is a sailor. While her partner Félix waits for her on land, she sets off as second mechanic on the Fidelio, an old freighter. On board, she discovers not only that her predecessor has just died, but also that the skipper is none other than the first great love of her life.

Alice is a sailor. While her partner Félix waits for her on land, she sets off as second mechanic on the Fidelio, an old freighter. On board, she discovers not only that her predecessor has just died, but also that the skipper is none other than the first great love of her life. Alice finds a notebook in her cabin, apparently that of the former mechanic, and on reading its contents – accounts of mechanical problems, sexual conquests and lovelorn emotions – finds, oddly, that they mirror her own concerns. As they make stops at various ports, dealing with life aboard alongside an all-male crew and the swell and pitch of her romantic feelings, the young woman tries to stay on course.

Time Out says

A powerful first feature from a French filmmaker to watch, this is about a young woman toughing it out below decks on an ocean voyage

It’s unusual to see a 30-year-old woman as an engineer on a cargo ship, but Alice (Ariane Labed) is a tough pro, holding her own among the otherwise all-male crew in this slice-of-life French drama. Alice’s sweet Norwegian boyfriend is patiently waiting for her in Marseille, but when the captain of her latest posting turns out to be an old flame, staying true just got a lot more challenging. Lucie Borleteau’s remarkably assured first feature intrigues with its doc-style observation of the daily routines, sudden stresses and eccentric rituals of life on an ocean-going workhorse. Yet it never loses sight of the aching, sensual undertow prompting its protagonist’s sometimes impulsive behaviour. True, Borleteau might have stoked the flames a bit higher, but the languor of the storytelling draws us in, and Greek actress Labed is both convincing in French and a strong-yet-vulnerable presence capable of holding an entire movie together.

• Running time: 97 min
• Cast & Crew

Alice works as an engineer on a freighter called Fidelio, an occupation fairly uncommon for a woman. While she loves her job and excels at it, she is still a woman susceptible to desires and more than capable of seduction. Thus it is not unreasonable to assume that the otherwise all-male crew might fall for her charms. Moreover, Alice not only leaves her fiance Felix back on land, while on board she is shocked to discover that the ship's captain is none other than her first lover, Gael.
