CGiii Comment

Despite the fantastic locations, an exceptional event and some fine young actors - Hänsel has squandered an opportunity that most filmmakers would die for...

There is subtext...being boys and all...but, it's just not interesting enough.

A film that goes absolutely nowhere, says nothing and has an unpalatable amount of animal cruelty and littering.

Wasted time.

The(ir) Blurb...

Three young boys aboard a French naval vessel in 1972 take part in nuclear tests in Mururoa, in the Pacific. Black Ocean explores about the relationships of the men on board who are confronted with discipline, violence, solitude and, occasionally, friendship.
