Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Rowing Across the Atlantic (La Traversée de l'Atlantique à la rame) is a 1978 animated short film (21 minutes) from France, directed by Jean-François Laguionie.A French married couple set out in a rowboat in 1907, presumably to cross the ocean back to France. They aren't dressed very appropriately; the husband wears a suit and the wife wears a formal dress. Even more incredibly, they carry a harp and a clarinet that they play, in the rowboat, out in the open ocean.In Real Life people who row across the Atlantic Ocean (it has been done) do it in six weeks to three months, but the man and the woman spend years, then decades, out at sea. They fight, and make up, and grow old, out together in the Atlantic. | |

Black Comedy: The scene where the wife takes an oar and calmly, methodically cracks the skulls of all the RMS Titanic victims who are trying to climb into their rowboat. One man is still wearing a top hat when he swims up to the boat, only for the woman to whack him on the head three times, gradually flattening his top hat. | |

Allegory | |
| Rowing Across the Atlantic / int_471c46f8 | comment |
Allegory: It's ambiguous, but it seems the film is an allegory about married life and growing old together. The couple in the rowboat don't seem to be trying very hard to get anywhere, and obviously one couldn't spend 23 years (at least) out in the ocean in a rowboat. And much of what happens, like how the rowboat doesn't go anywhere when the couple are angry at each other and row in different directions, seems like commentary on marriage. | |

Bathtub Scene: During a surreal sequence that may be a dream, at one point the couple is rowing a bathtub, with the man at the oars while the woman lounges naked in the tub. | |
