I wonder if anybody saw the movie 'The Fast Runner'. I just saw it tonight and I am still incredibly mesmorized. As a matter of fact, I'm just looking for anyone who can share his/her impression of the movie.

I remember my then-boyfriend saw it when it was released in NY, and he did not seem to like it much. I absolutely was shocked and moved by the vast landscape that looked almost infinite and its description of people's very fundamental struggle of survival on top of what is unuversal about human life. The generousity of the movie to show the tribal uniqueness, Innuit in North America area (although the movie does not specifies it in the set), and ultimately how the story embodies archetype of human were some spectacular that a viewer like myself from the homogenized Western civilization just appreciates for a great deal.

Among all the practices of thier nomadic and isolated life style in the wilderness of the ice cold landscape, I found the description of the mysterious manner of thier shamanism worship and how they perform immensely precious in terms of its' offering the recovered memory that had been deeply beried in the collective psyche of human beings. Where could I have possibly found the ritual if not here?
