well i have read the other comment and even check out roger ebert and try to find the reason for all the praise some people give it and but i can not get it . a story of people fight with each other and murder each other and commit adultery and and bad of all mistreat the dog that be essential for their survival and among the incessant crunching of snow under boot . this have to be consider a home movie and it leave a lousy opinion of the inuit people and which i know can not be this bad . ebert say it involve somes legend and what that be i do not know .
