Gulli is the only survivor of a fishing boat that capsizes during a storm at sea. He swims for hours in the icy water, fighting for his life. In his hometown he is welcomed as a celebrity and a hero with an extraordinary will to live. However, Gulli views things very differently and always remembers the accident as the day his friends died. This film is based on a true story, and was the official Icelandic nomination for the 2013 Oscar Award for Best Foreign Language Film. (Days of European Film)

Uma curiosidade tecnicamente bem filmada sobre um gajo que conseguiu o inaudito por causa das suas predisposições físicas. No entanto, os flashbacks que nos dizem mais sobre ele, o desempenho do ator principal, e o ambiente de grande angular e através dos filtros do local islandês não impedem a impressão de que isto deveria ter permanecido no campo de um documentário de qualidade. O espetador, criado sobre tempestades perfeitas, espera uma história mais densa de uma longa-metragem como esta.

A strong aspect of this film is the fact that it brings this story to our attention. As long as it's about the survival part, it's at times quite powerful, well-directed, almost gripping. But once it's off the sea, it just isn't as gripping, and it actually becomes slightly boring, the same goes for the flashback scenes, which didn't really add much for me.

An ode to Icelandic tenacity and the Nordic "story of an ordinary man" who subdued the elements and limits of the body. That evocation of the title of Boris Polevoj's book is not malice and not cynicism, the seal man Gulli simply acts in the film as an epic hero who is strangely "roundly whole". The Deep is a film with drama, but without conflict; a film that, for its miracle unexplained by science, seeks an explanation for Iceland's resilience and ability to face ruthless conditions. Filmed with a sense of composition, it’s not offensive at all, but there is also nothing captivating about it - it's muted heroic poetry with an impenetrable protagonist who speaks to seagulls as a character of a heroic epic at a moment of strain in his life. A cultured film that has no edge.

Baltasar Kormákur is inseparably linked with the nature. Almost every one of his movies is influenced by the nature and it is no different with this one. This movie is about a beautiful but really wild Iceland nature and tells a true story even though no one is able to believe it. A story about a man perfectly portrayed by Ólafur Darri Ólafsson who was able tosurvive his own death. From time to time it is quite dark and you are unable to see anything. Moreover the main character is talking to seagulls a lot and many people might think that the movie is mental and without any film-making qualities. As I know, after so many years, that love for the nature is deeply rooted in the Icelanders (except for the fact that they eat Puffins) I have an understanding for such movies and I have to say that I liked everything about this particular one. A human is an unpredictable creature in all circumstances.
