Well nobody even knows what it's about so it's not going to be easy.

Oh. I didn't realize it was an unpopular film and I thought the people here were into Kurosawa. OK then!

You might not know about it because it's a Soviet film. Yes, it's based on the book.


Basically it's an explorer re-telling events that occurred on an expedition. His crew meets a hunter in the woods who has spent his entire life in the forest. As a result, he's a total badass and helps the guys survey the area.

It's really about the hunter and the explorer, their relationships and what they learn from each other.

It's all (except for a few segments) filmed in the Siberian wilderness, throughout various seasons and landscapes.

SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST THREE MINUTES OF THE FILM!
Spoilers!



It seems to me than Kurosawa would be interested in the project because it has a pretty obvious message of respecting nature and a more "primitive" way of living.

I saw that while looking for a clip or trailer. Is it subbed?

There's a lot of great foreign and animated films on Youtube.

I've looked into that and the dude's other stuff, and Baraka (unless that's the same guy). Sounded all right, but I don't know.

Yeah, it's subbed.

I probably shouldn't recommend a movie I haven't seen myself but I read a review of a movie called Far North a while ago. It has female hermits, wilderness, and Sean Bean.

Hmm, looks somewhat interesting, I'll have to look more into it. Thanks, had never heard anything about that one.
