The Forbidden Quest is a 1993 pseudo-documentary written and directed by Peter Delpeut.
A documentary filmmaker hears of J.C. Sullivan who may know the fate of the Hollandia, a Norwegian ship that sailed to Antarctica in 1905 and disappeared.
[3] J.C. Sullivan was the carpenter on that ill-fated voyage and is the last known surviving crewmember of the Hollandia.
The film, made in 1993,[4] is presented as a 1941 documentary[5] of a series of events that occurred in 1905.
The New York Times' Janet Maslin praised the "honest power of the film's archival scenes" while condemning its narrative as slow-paced, portentous, and poorly written.
