This movie was made in 1983 and I used to have it on video tape as a kid, but I hadn’t seen it since the 80s and I re-watched it as an adult yesterday. It was such a moving film. It was stunningly beautiful both visually and thematically. The running with caribou scene was some really incredible animal footage which must have been a nightmare to stage.

Charles Martin Smith really sells the difficulties and terrors of survival and the awe of nature, and it’s too bad it didn’t catapult him into a bigger career since he deserves it.

What do others here think of it?
