Y dijo el «Borraré de la faz de la Tierra a los hombres que he creado...»
Genesis 6:7. En un mundo cruel, Noé era un hombre bueno. Sin embargo, sus noches estaban preñadas de oscuras visiones, de tormentas interminables. El Creador le estaba enviando un el anuncio de un castigo que acabaría con la raza humana. «Aronofsky ofrece una interpretación muy personal del personaje delGénesis plagada de extravagancia, sorpresa, locura y pretensión. Un Noé que se toma pequeñas libertades con la Biblia.»

About the author
Darren Aronofsky
42 books172 followersDarren S. Aronofsky (born February 12, 1969) is an American film director, screenwriter and film producer. He attended Harvard University and AFI to study both live-action and animation film theory, where he met long-time collaborator Matthew Libatique. He won several film awards after completing his senior thesis film, "Supermarket Sweep", starring Sean Gullette, which went on to become a National Student Academy Award finalist.
Aronofsky did not make a feature film until five years later, creating the concept for his debut feature, π, in February 1996. The low-budget, $60,000 production, starring Sean Gullette, was sold to Artisan Entertainment for $1 million, and grossed over $3 million; it won both a Sundance Film Festival award and an Independent Spirit Award. Aronofsky's followup, Requiem for a Dream, was based on the novel of the same name written by Hubert Selby, Jr. The film received an Academy Award nomination for Ellen Burstyn's performance. After turning down an opportunity to direct Batman Begins, Aronofsky began production on his third film, The Fountain. The film was released to mixed reviews and poor box office results.
However, his next film, The Wrestler, rebounded with positive reviews and healthy box office. Both of the film's stars, Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei, received Academy Award nominations. Rourke also won a Golden Globe for Best Actor and Bruce Springsteen won for Best Original Song for his title song. Aronofsky's next film, Black Swan, received further critical acclaim and many accolades, being nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director, four Golden Globes including Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Director, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, a record 12 BFCA nominations and a DGA nomination.

This Danish edition collects the first two out of four original albums, which together retells the Biblical story of Noah and the great flood. The same story by Aronofsky has also been made into a Hollywood blockbuster starring Russel Crowe, if anyone had missed that. I haven't seen the film, and after having read the comic, I'm not so sure if I want to.
The story of Noah is a powerful one, the origin of which predates the Old Testament and seems to go hand in hand with human storytelling as far back as we can follow it through the written language. This is the latest of retellings of this ancient myth, using the modern day general form of fantasy and more specifically the format of the French-Belgian comics album, in which well illustrated but not always equally well written fantasy is a major genre. As such it does a pretty good job of dusting off the story and presenting it to a new audience.
Henrichon, who is a hitherto unknown artist to me, does a good job of combining the fantasy elements of the story with the more pompous, biblical themes. I especially like his fallen angels, which takes the shape of six-armed, gigantic troll like creatures.
All-in-all, this is certainly entertaining and a far cry the often dry and sanguine interpretations that can be found in more didactic Christian comics versions of the story of Noah. Still, I leave my final verdict to after I've read the last two volumes.

Çok güzel bir alternatif hikaye ve etkileyici çizgiler. Sevdim.

Çizimleri çok etkileyiciydi yani bayıldım ama Metin çizimler kadar etkileyici değildi maalesef. Belki de Swamp Thing okuduktan sonra okuduğumdan kaynaklı olarak beni çok etkilemedi. Yine çizimleri çok hoşuma gitti sevdim

Finalmente, dopo aver recuperato anche il secondo volume, mi son dedicata a Noè. Era tanto che aspettava.
Premetto che non ho visto il film e le mie conoscenza di religione sono alquanto lacunose.
I disegni sono FA-VO-LO-SI! Un piacere per gli occhi. La storia un po' meno. Ho fatto tanta fatica a mettermi nei panni di Noè, con la sua fede incrollabile nei sogni che Dio gli invia. La mia parte preferita è quella dedicata ai guardiani.
Passiamo al secondo volume.
