2009 by Neil Jordan - English movie from Ireland
Ondine is a water nymph or a water spirit. There are many myths, from around the world, based on this concept. I dont remember seeing another movie on this, though.
A fisherman finds a woman in his fishing net, who seems to bring him good luck. His daughter believes the woman is an Ondine.
Large part of this movie proceeds like a fairy tale and I liked it a lot. It is just the final parts, which expectedly, turns routine and lacked that nice lovely feeling which the movie managed to create so easily in the first half. I would love to forget the last and just keep in my memory the first half of this movie, which was like a beautiful fantasy movie.
Still I cant help thinking that this was a great opportunity to make an ultimate classic, let gone by the movie makers, towards the final thrid.
Nice performances by Colin Farrell and the actress who played Ondine. Another great plus is the location, which fits perfectly for this fairy tale.
