Utterly beautiful
6 February 2011
I picked this movie up from the video store as I was in a hurry and could not decide what to choose so just grabbed the first thing. I didn't watch it for two days and was on the point of taking it back unseen but then gave it a whirl as an afterthought. I have to say that this is probably one of the most beautiful films I have ever watched. The acting was superb especially Barry Pepper and the girl Annabella Piugattuck. Not sure what a throat singer is but she is one, she can fish, she hunts seal and walrus, and makes clothing out of caribou hides- holy smokes!. If ever she's looking for a husband I'm her man although my wife might have a thing or two to say about that. Not only all that but she can act amazingly and she's gorgeous. I loved the photography too, utterly stunning, a visual feast. My only slight gripe was that there was just a little too much music/film score. Some of those scenes especially at the end would have benefited from total silence. I would liked to have seen him reunited with his buddies, was cut a little short there. Just a personal preference but this is a truly wonderful film and work of art and I am recommending it to all of my friends.
