This is kind of a nice surprise. When I picked up this DVD from the shelve, I wasn't really expecting much, except some shots of the beautiful landscape of Arctic North. However, this movie turned out to be a really great movie. This movie is really different in terms of the portrait of another culture - Inuit community. But it's just like any other great movie, it tells a good story, and the story has the heart and the soul. People may look different, eat different food, speak different language, but we human all long for the same things... a little affection, a little care, a little understanding.
All actors are real Inuit, and the whole movie is spoken in Inuktitut. I gotta say some of the acting is quite bad, but if you see the way they laugh, I can tell you, that is not acting. Just pure joy.
