The Childhood of Icarus

09/25/2012 Guillaume Depardieu's last movie. It explores the theme of risky genetic engineering, in times when making a man virtually immortal through regeneration may prove scientifically possible. The Childhood of Icarus asks about the importance of life and death, but doesn't show the guts to give any answers. While the essence of its message might be generally significant, the way in which Alex Iordachescu presents this thought-provoking subject leaves something to be desired. Still, Depardieu gives an emotional and sometimes excruciating performance as a man, who chooses to be a guinea pig for the experiment that was doomed to failure from the very beginning.
