The Fast Runner
Zacharias Kunuk's engrossing pre-historical film about a cursed household, is like the House of Atreus set in the high Arctic a thousand years ago and spoken entirely in the language of Inuktitut: A family curse, a pattern of transgressions and retribution and a hero who, through extraordinary courage and wiles, expiates the evil. Stuffed with documentary lore about daily life, shot in intimate high-definition digital, with a script compiled from an Inuit legend, it's a stunning piece of work, both revelatory and entertaining.
(4 stars)
