When I first streamed this movie I stopped after the second appearance of the bear which I initially found confusing and annoying. However, after a few days I realized that I still thinking about that bear, so I had go back and watch the entire movie. The director wants you to think and to feel deeply, and this is accomplished by a subtle transition from simple entertainment into what I would describe as mysticism or animistic religion. If you love film, you should see this one. You may love it or hate it but you probably won't forget it. Shot in the polar region of Canada, it provides profound insight into the character and behavior of the people who live in such an isolated and hostile environment. Some are born there but others choose to live there, and that difference is at the heart of the story.
