After many years, I saw Robert Enrico's "Les Aventuriers" (1967) again. It was like a reunion with an old and dear friend who never changed and only became better with age. Like many years ago, the film brought joy and sadness in the same time. This ode to the friendship which is above everything, to the tender love, to the spirit of freedom and adventure, to the unspoken words, to the magnificent men and the women beautiful like a dream will never get old or outdated. This film is like fresh air, it is a reminder that the adventures will never end as long as there are the adventurers that are always ready "to search and to find, to struggle and to never give up".
I bought a tape with the film dubbed to Russian - that's how I saw it for the first time many years ago, actually. Dubbing is good and the quality is decent but I hope that one day I will be able to obtain the DVD with many features, documentaries, and soundtracks. I also would like to hear the interviews with Alain Delon and Joanna Shimkus - it is sad that she had quit acting; I think she was very talented, and she was breathtaking as Laetitia. I've cried more than once when I saw the film - the burial scene with the Francois de Roubaix's music playing and the final scene were simply heartbreaking.
Fort Boyard, where the final sequences of the film took place, stands in the water like a dream that never came true for the film's characters but it will always be the inspiration for new generations of dreamers and adventurers from around the world.
