Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film is a mix of fact and fiction. William Lancaster was a British aviator who vanished in the Sahara in 1933 whilst attempting to set an England-South Africa speed record. He was married, but had a long-term affair with an Australian woman, Jessie Miller, who was also a pilot. Miller did not go to search for Lancaster. His body was found in 1962 by French troops. His diary was sent to Miller. His plane was recovered in 1975 and acquired by the Queensland Museum in Australia. The plane, the Southern Cross Minor, had been purchased by Lancaster from Charles Kingsford Smith, a noted Australian aviator.

Featured review
To begin with, the plot is absolutely uninteresting. We have a french aviator woman, who comes in the Sahara to search for her missing husband, and an anti-colonialism french soldier who wants to defend the nomadic people.
So what happens in the movie ? Well... they move through a part of the desert, and... that's pretty much it. One or two sub-plots are started, but not finished, the movie wants to focus on its characters, but the total absence of background makes them empty, and we don't care for them a second.
To sum it up : no story, boring characters, uncreative cinematography, and a slow, horrible pace.
