far north be one of the bad film i have ever see . a pointless tale that fail to entertain ( except for the unintentionally hilarious end ) or inform and it one save grace be it only last for 89 minute . the film plod along for 70 or so minute without a lot happen and except for a man fall in love with a young girl and and the other and old girl look slightly annoy . it be then reveal that the old girl save the young girl from some soldier . however and 70 minute or so into the film and she feel the need to strangle the girl she save and cut her face off when she reveal she be leave with the man . pretty unconvincing stuff . at the start of the film i think that possibly this film would have a political theme about mine coal in the tundra and but not so . no information be give to when this film be set and except for the presence of soldier and so assumingly during war time . even the scenery isn not convince and the boat scene on the river be clearly backdrops . this film will bore you to death for the vast majority of it duration and with an end that will baffle you and probably make you laugh . do yourself a favour and give this one a miss .
