Doors open at 7:00, movie starts at 7:30 pm
Bring your own whatever. Kid-friendly environment, but this film isn't for kids, and it's subtitled. Please don't bring pets.
"Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner"
2001, Canada, color, 172 minutes
Director: Zacharias Kunuk
Screenplay: Paul Apak Angilirq et. al.
Inuktitut language with English subtitles
Dr. Yo says:
Don't be scared off by the nearly three-hour "running" time... or the subtitles. "Atanarjuat" is not to be missed under any circumstances. It's a one-of-a-kind film, made by native people living above the Arctic circle in Canada. Based on an Inuit legend, it has everything: black magic, intrigue, jealousy, adultery, murder, igloos, and, of course, a naked guy running across the tundra. It doesn't get any more mind-blowing than this, my friends. The realistic depictions of life in an insane climate, and the delightful performances by non-actors, remind me of "Himalaya." "Atanarjuat" is every bit as beautiful, and its storyline more compelling, so it's no surprise that it won the Golden Camera at Cannes as well as numerous awards at international festivals.
