Movie in-short: Jean Yanne, Daniel Mesguich, Claude Jade: A la recherche de la fortune et du paradis ils ne connurent que l'enfer.
Movie story-line: Iranian Iradj Azimi directed this French historical drama re-creating events depicted in the famous 1819 painting The Raft of the Medusa by Jean Louis Andre Theodore Gericault (1791-1824). The ill-fated voyage of the frigate Medusa begins when it departs Rochefort for Senegal in 1816. After striking a sandbar off the African coast, 150 civilians row safely to shore, but Captain Chaumareys (Jean Yanne) orders 140 soldiers and sailors onto a raft (minus supplies) and has it cut loose. Only 14 survive from the 140, creating a scandal back in France. Gericault (Laurent Terzieff) later talks to three of the survivors while researching his painting. Work on this film began in 1987, but sets destroyed by Hurricane Hugo caused delays, so the film was not completed until 1990. However, it then remained undistributed until an incident in which writer-director Azimi slashed his wrists in front of French Ministry of Culture officials.
Movie synopsis: Frankreich 1816: Nach seiner Rückkehr aus dem Exil beruft Louis XVIII den Royalisten Schmaltz zum Gouverneur des Senegal. Gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Reine Schmaltz und einer großen Eskorte reist Schmaltz von Rochefort nach Saint Louis. Doch die unter dem Kommando des starrsinnigen Chaumareys stehende Fregatte "Méduse" läuft vor der Küste Senegals auf eine Sandbank. Während sich die privilegierten Passagiere neben der Familie des Gouverneurs in Rettungsboote flüchtet, bleibt 150 Besatzungsmitgliedern nur ein Floß, das von den Schaluppen abgeschleppt werden soll. Doch Chaumareys kappt die Abschleppseile und das Floß treibt aufs offene Meer. Es folgen zwölf Tage voller Hunger, Durst, Kannibalismus. Nur sechs der Schiffbrüchigen überleben und die Tragödie, die zum großen Polit-Skandal wird, inspiriert den Maler Géricault zu seinem berühmten Gemälde "Das Floß der Medusa"... Azimis Film kam erst im Sommer 1998 in die Kinos.
