Movies like Kon-Tiki

“Kon-Tiki (2012) is a Nordic-era historical-adventure that stages a 1947 raft voyage as an act of cultural proof and scientific claim. The film foregrounds the contest between mythic origin and empirical demonstration through widescreen composition, lighting grammar, and sustained diegetic sea sound. Lupani concludes that the film uses expedition form to translate social anxieties about lineage into a disciplined cinematic experiment.”
