Awesome. Beautifully done. IF one is willing to open one's mind to a different way of making a movie, and if one is willing to look, listen, feel, & think as one watches.
Taking into account the physical environment, the weather, risks and history (as to inter-relationships, Inuk vs. white, day-to-day practical matters and with regard to religious beliefs), the finished product (post edit) represents an extraordinarily valuable contribution to the record of evolving societies, a contribution unlikely to appeal to inward-looking urbanites and Tom Cruise fans.
A brilliant piece of filmmaking but those with short attention spans or not much upstairs should stay away.
Very disappointing after Atanarjuat. Just another attempt at creating something profound resulting in a dull movie.
Visually very rich but i wish there were more historical accounts made of the traditional beliefs, customs, and taboos. I think the movie cuts way too short when we only see the quite terse contrast between the two worlds. i also don`t want to give a bad impression of the Christian world coming in. It is a noted fact that people who converted into Christianity were people were already part of a law system, not barbaric or aesists which was very obviously that the Inuit had a rich value system of rights and wrongs but the way Christianity is seen is particularly bad. We shouldn`t forget that the Inuit religiousity were, in principle, the r
Not for everyone but an interesting film.
very good
It’s a good portrayal of Inuit life and the influences that the white man had on them, but if that’s not your interest, go see something else.
rental at most
