L'avventuriero dei sette mari

10 out of 10 - This is truly one of the best adventure movies (or mini series) ever made. The performance is so real, so gripping, so great! I've only seen it once and that was years ago, but it still had such a great impact on me. Please release it on DVD one day!

DON'T MISS IT!

This is so a great movie. I thought a lot about the relationship between Larsen and van Weyden. They are so different. There is open so much. I like the almost tender gestures from the "very brutal" (for Hump)Larson in the meeting with Hump. He was growing up so different and dont understand not really the reactions from Hump. Hump is fascinated from Larson, but he do not understand his "brutality". The end I didnt like not so much, but I don`t no, what would be better. Perhaps it would be nice to see for me, how Hump in the end touch the face from Larson, set their hair. Because, there is no deeper relationship between the two, and a Maud Brewster never could go into that.

A great movie that shows also excellent two philosophical points of view. Social Darwinism (Wolf Larson) vs. the peaceful coexistence of individuals(Louis). A lot of different themes are mentioned.

This adaption of Jack Londons "Seewolf" is the best ever shown. The characters have been chosen very wise and Raimund Harmstorf played the role of his live.

The story depends not only on the novel "Der Seeworlf", Ulbrich, the director of the four part movie, included several other novels and short stories from Jack London (all the "historic" scenes do not take place in the original novel, they have been taken from "Joe and the pirates").

Harmstorf himself did a good job as Wolf Larson, the captain of the "Ghost" and he was identified by this role since his early suicide. He took place in other great roles such as "Der Kurier des Zaren" (Michael Strogof).

All in all, if you will ever have a look on a Seewolf-movie, try this one!

This is the best version of the Sea Wolf I have seen. There are excellent production values, believable characters and the general feeling of a major production is present throughout. It does not betray its TV origins.

Best of all is Raimund Harmstorf in the title role as Wolf Larsen. He manages to create an aura of intimidation and mystery around his character that has never been matched by other productions of Jack London's story. And, of course, there is the potato-squeezing scene.

This series made Harmstorf a star (at least in Germany), but he could never quite repeat this performance. Strangely, his natural voice was not deemed tough enough for this role at the time and so another actor was chosen to speak his character in the German dubbed version.
