- Map of the Human Heart is the title of a 1993 film by New Zealand director Vincent Ward. It was screened out of competition at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival. The film, set mostly before and during World War II, centers on the life of a Canadian Inuit boy, Avik (played as a child by Robert Joamie, and as an adult by Jason Scott Lee), who joins the Royal Canadian Air Force and eventually, as a crewmember of a Lancaster bomber, participates in the notorious firebombing of Dresden. Throughout his life, Avik is haunted by love for a Métis girl, Albertine, and by a belief that he brings misfortune to those around him. The film also stars Patrick Bergin, who plays a pivotal role as both surrogate father to Avik and his primary rival in Albertine's love. Jeanne Moreau has a minor role as a Québécois nun. John Cusack also has a small but important role as the mapmaker to whom Avik relates his incredible tale. The film's re-creation of the firebombing of Dresden is one of the most graphic and powerful sequences in the film. On the day Ward finished shooting those scenes, he received word that his father, who had actually participated in the historical firebombing of Dresden, had died. This is why Ward chose to dedicate the film to him. There are two other scenes in the movie which garnered much attention. The first one is a pivotal love scene that takes place on top of an English military blimp (not in a cabin or gondola but actually on top of the blimp), the other is the final scene of the film which has a twist ending. The scenes in "Nunatuk," the region of Northern Canada where Avik's people are from, were filmed on location in what is now Nunavut, using local Inuit as extras. The script was written by Australian author Louis Nowra, using a 10-page treatment Ward had written a year earlier as his guide.
- Flucht aus dem Eis (Map of the Human Heart) ist eine epische Romanze des neuseeländischen Regisseurs Vincent Ward mit Anne Parillaud und Jason Scott Lee in den Hauptrollen. Der Film entstand 1992 als internationale Koproduktion mit Musik von Gabriel Yared und einer Kameraarbeit von Eduardo Serra.
- Avik e Albertine (Map of the Human Heart) è un film del 1992 diretto da Vincent Ward, interpretato da Jason Scott Lee e Anne Parillaud. È stato presentato fuori concorso al 45º Festival di Cannes. Il film tratta le vicissitudini dell'eschimese Avik, dei vari incontri avvenuti nella sua vita, dell'amore che ebbe per Albertine, a cui poi dovette rinunciare. Ideato da Ward, sceneggiato da Louis Nowra, la pellicola tratta più temi, tutti imperniati su un duplice conflitto: natura/civiltà, padre (anche se simbolico)/figlio, che sono trattati con stile ed innegabile bravura, soprattutto nelle scene più suggestive, nelle quali emerge il talento visionario e allucinato del regista, il quale però non riesce a dare equilibrio all'opera, risultando ridondante e disordinato nel versante narrativo. Un film di buonissima fattura, nella quale giocano un ruolo decisivo i contributi tecnici degli attori, di Gabriel Yared (musiche), di Eduardo Serra (fotografia).
