Self discovery in the white washed mountains of Greenland., 22 February 2003
7/10
Author: mifunesamurai from Australia

The Danes come to town and take over the Inuit's culture, altering them to a town of drunks with no sense of direction. The town's main chief drunk Rasmsu, falls victim to the destruction of modern change when his son goes on a killing spree and then turns the rifle on himself. Rasmus falls apart and journeys on a spiritual quest to find his ancestral way of living as he runs into the white washed mountains of Greenland. It is here that the widescreen works with the barren cold landscape being the backdrop for Rasmu's self discovery. The photography and music cover the structural gaps in this tale that is worth seeing on the big screen.
