“Under the Seine” on Netflix made a big mistake in which the city of Orléans is delighted

CINEMA – A mistake that makes a splash. The city of Orléans reacted on X (formerly Twitter) with a lot of humor, this Thursday, June 6, to a blunder in the film Under the Seineonline on Netflix since this Wednesday.

“ Do not panicwrites the city’s account. If you saw a big fin on the Loire [fleuve qui traverse Orléans], it’s the shark from “Sous la Seine” who was heading back to Paris for filming. We can testify to this. »

The film by Xavier Gens with Bérénice Bejo tells the crazy story of a giant shark which prowls in the depths of the Seine, thereby threatening to transform the triathlon event which is to take place there into a bloodbath. How did the dangerous animal end up in the river?

According to one of the heroines, he crossed the Pacific and Indian Oceans, passed the Cape of Good Hope, before arriving in the Atlantic, then following the European coasts to Le Havre, where he sailed the Seine. However, when explaining this to scientist Sophia Assalas (Bérénice Bejo), a map appears on the screen.

And according to this map, as noted by doctor Dominique Dupagne, the big shark did not rush into the Seine, but into the Loire, as you can see below:

Willful error or not? Under the Seine is undoubtedly a film to be taken with a lot of perspective, as suggested by the hypothesis that a mako shark could be found in Paris.

It is a species found mainly offshore and which, in its behavior, generally attacks isolated prey, contrary to images which show it as a raging beast thirsty for blood. “We are in a complete delirium, in the most total fiction”as Eric Clua previously reminded us.

Perhaps the animal actually escaped from an aquarium in Orléans?
