you have to watch the odd foreign film such a this to understand just how far hollywood have stray from cinematic honesty . this be a simple and beautifully do and superbly act piece of theatre set in one of the world least known place and the fog shroud french island of st. pierre and off newfoundland . it a simple yet grip film with an intriguing plot and almost a morality play . there be visceral human drama and much mystery and wonderful soul stir pathos . and how nice to see a movie without the mandatory hollywood happy end . a well spent evening .
