This movie is picturesque
This move is emotionally absorbing
This movie is shocking in places
The movies is sad on many levels
It is slower than the usual pace at which movies are set.So,if you don't like reallySLOW moving film plots, you might want to skip this.(but I highly recommend you slow yourself down and actually catch this movie!)
A very unique story.The movie is based on a short story by Sara Maitland.
Dwells into complicated emotions where, sometimes, people whom you have been very kind to all their life , all in an act of petty selfishness leave you behind to find their own way.
Is it fair to find their own way? probably yes.A very complicated situation
The background music is eerie, amazing and reminds me of japanese music, though essentially is all about slow european opera.Dario Marianelli has scored the music for this movie..Very amazing..very calming in places, very eerie in places, Very good music.Compliments ,sir!
Asif kapadia, director, screen play writer..Dude,,good job.
This movie, I couldn't catch it from the beginning, so the full review will be when i see it in whole, like, right from the first shot.
Very very good.
I am going to try and find time and sit there and watch this movie from start to end..
This is a 2007 release..very very very good.. as a work of art, as a work of cinematography, as a work of music juxtaposition with emotion.
Nevertheless, I still have my final verdict reserved till after i finish watching the whole thing. I shall then write about the storyline in detail too.k?
Meanwhile, here is an interview with The director Asif kapadia..Nice read
http://www.bean-land.de/rg_sbfarnorthinterviewe2008.htm
I just read the interview and seems like Asif quite deliberately wanted the movie to not look from any particular country or a particular timeline.He choose to make it to look timeless and universal and I must say that it does look universal -as in , you cannot put your finger on it and say, "This is this country, this is from this timeline--a vagueness about location and timeline" The film has however been shot in part in Norway, the Island of Svalbard, and inside in Twickenham Studios
The movie seems to have been released by Kurt media on DVD
From the Interview I gather that Asif's first movie is called "The warrior".Given that i am so impressed with his FAR NORTH, I am now going to try and catch hold of THE WARRIOR too..Intrigued!
