Review of Far North (2008) by Fiv - — 02 Dec 2009
Absolutely brilliant - a combination of a bit of action, a lot of silence, and plenty of character study. All this in a landscape that matches the plot - deadly, serene, pristine. The film does take a route that is utterly unexpected and yet plays perfectly into where the story was leading its characters. It was definitely one of the better films I have seen in a while and I've no issues with any of its aspects.
Star deducted for part of the rather butchered ending (no pun intended here), and a few lapses in the interplay between silence and gory. It'd be interesting to see an uncut version of this film if it's ever released.
