The Last Igloo

Absolutely loved the basic production and rawness of this documentary, it felt like you was on the journey accompanying him. A great breath of fresh air

Beautiful movie, soundtracks, scenery. As much as the life of the main character could be simple, it is filled with nature, with loneliness, with ancesters life experiences. I don't see the sadness in the movie, I see the experienced and peaceful life. Incredibly nice movie.

Minimalistic yet so full of overwhelming powerfull images. Everything is so quiet you can almost feel the slow heart beats of the main character. You recognize the sad, depressing vanishing huning era wrapped in easy native inuite words. The landscapes are so largely breathtaking you can actually feel the main character beeing squized to a singularity. So well spotted at the movie end, in the actic darkness, a long gone colapsing light from the past history. You will feel at the end that this is really the last igloo, a sort of modern last supper before going extinct. So introspective. Highly recomended.

Overall a fine documentary. I just wish BBC here as in many other documentaries would be more willing to let us know from where these documentaries are made. Greenland is a vast place. West and East are very different. The sleds, for instance are different, the amount of dogs used to pull are different numbers.... Please, let us know from which destinations you show.!!!! It makes sense to let us know the location.

As for you out there who dislike sealkilling, you have not fully comprehended, that even today - 2022 - it might be a way of surviving.

Traditional food, even today is primarily marinefood - study and you will learn about that.

The reason for overweight and lifestyle healthproblems to-day is mainly unhealthy pre-fabricated food from western kitchens - not native food from the sea - as seals for instance. All is eaten in a seal, and goes a long way.

As for the igloos, it must be a romantic idea from the producers, that igloos have a place in the culture to-day. I have never seen one around.

The film is certainly slow, nice and beautiful, because the place is so beautiful.

The film The Last Hunter shows some af the same environment and tells the story of a dying profession : hunting.

This film does some of the same and it deserves attention.

My guess about this film location is Tasiilaq/Ammassalik. I lived there !

Shovels and dogs no grimness just survival. Makes me want to have my grandparents back, but it's a totally different environment
