The Viking Society is recruiting volunteers for the first manned mission to Mars. The goal is to form a B-team that will mirror the mission here on Earth in order to find solutions to the interpersonal problems that the Mars-bound crew is experiencing. The film tells the story of David, a high school gym teacher, who seizes this opportunity to revive his dream of becoming an astronaut and making a difference. Viking is a little absurd, falling somewhere between a high-concept comedy and a straight up allegorical tale. It's a story about the gap between our dreams and reality. Read More Read Less

Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome Viking is a space oddity survival flick with its feet firmly planted on earth. The production design is a gorgeous blend of retro futurism that harkens back to the era of the space race. Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Faisal Al-Jadir Film Inquiry Viking is endearing and intelligent, but most especially a profound masterwork from visionary filmmaker Stephane Lafleur. Oct 22, 2022 Full Review Monica Reid Far Out Magazine All the humour in Viking is entirely relatable; the crew’s problems, the minor breakdowns in discipline, and the constant decline into human pettiness are all the funnier for being perfectly believable. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 7, 2022 Full Review Pat Mullen That Shelf Viking is a space movie that’s firmly grounded with both feet planted right here on Earth. It’s easily Lafleur’s best film yet. Sep 28, 2022 Full Review Kurt Halfyard ScreenAnarchy When Stanislaw Lem published Solaris, he wrote, “We have no need of other worlds. We need mirrors…” I am not sure Viking is exactly what the Polish science-fiction author had in mind, but I am glad we had this conversation. Sep 22, 2022 Full Review Alex Heeney Seventh Row Viking is the latest entry into the cinematic canon of great space movies in which nobody actually goes to space (e.g., Proxima).
