You'll Never Look at the Arctic in the Same Way

I'll admit--I had my doubts about this one. How can anyone make a movie in a frozen wasteland, where the entire backdrop is ice and snow? How can anyone make that intriguing?

I found out how. This was one of the most masterfully written, directed and filmed pictures I've ever seen. The director presents a common thread immediately--a love triangle--and gives us a glimpse of mankind's liknesses despite the venue. The movie was rich in plot, heavy in intrigue and thick with character. By far a terrific movie, one of my favorites.
