Aïlo: Une odyssée en Laponie

From the point of view of a newborn. Tightly edited with lots of shots of other wildlife. Enjoyable in any language. English narration By Donald Sutherland at about 83, In calm tones That you could watch with your children.

Really what could be more disinformative and damaging to kids understanding of nature than anthropomorphizing animals in the wild? Avoid.

A poetic tale in Lapland in which we may observe a reindeer within its wild environment, from birth to its first anniversary.

One of my favorite movies...... it is deeply touching and with a lot of meanings.

Plot: The first year of Ailo is shown, a reindeer that is learning its place in the world. While experiencing the harsh weather and life conditions in lapland, i.e. northern scandinavia, Ailo also meets the other animals living there, like squirrels, foxes, wolverines etc. and, of course, other reindeer.

This movie is more like a documentary as it is very informative to the viewer about the flora and fauna. Cute animals and beautiful scenic views of landscapes are concomittantly paired with finnish orchestral music, and both add to a very special cinema experience.
