Maliglutit (Searchers)

  • Post category:.

Intriguing and surprising (for me, anyway, given the starkness of the Artic setting for this Inuit tale) take on a classic John Ford Western (the 1950s film, Searchers).  Here, an Inuk man and his son must set out to find the gang of men who kidnapped his wife and daughter.  The early part of the story slowly shows us the nature and customs of daily life in the far north in this community, while the latter half becomes a race against time and against fellow men.
