Reviews
“A masterpiece.... The first national cinema of the 21st century”
A.O. Scott, NY Times
“Mysterious, bawdy, emotionally intense, and replete with virtuoso throat singing, this three-hour movie is engrossing from first image to last, so devoid of stereotype and cosmic in its vision it could suggest the rebirth of cinema.”
Jim Hoberman, Village Voice
“Nothing less than a complete revelation and reinvention of cinematic form…. a definite ‘must-see’.”
Katherine Monk, Vancouver Sun

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Excellent movie! I rented this when it 1st came out. I really enjoyed it at the time, but when I wanted to see it again, I had forgotten the name. Anyway, I am glad I found it again & have a chance to share a great movie with my parents. Also, I didn't know there was a trilogy! I am so looking foreward to watching the rest of the films! BTW, these films might not be big budget, but everything about them, from the acting & directing, to the photography, sound, editing, etc, it is all superb quality. Hollywood could learn something from these movies.
The story is unlike anything you've heard or read. The setting couldn't be better; this film takes you away to claustrophobic igloos and the isolated Arctic wilderness. The characters are well made, with genuine good hearted people and vengeful ones. The acting, however, is horrible. There's no getting around that!
Veramente Primordiale e vero. Appartiene all'Umanità. Grazie .I migliori Auguri a Tutto il Popolo Inuit.
