This movie is outstanding, not only because of the amazing screenplay but because of the character development. Charlie goes from being disgusted by Kanaalaq eating raw fish to laughing in ecstatic joy when successfully hunting down and eating raw caribou. There are very great uses of both realism and surrealism in this movie that are expected of any artsy and naturistic movie, but it is executed better than most of these films. It is an extremely sentimental film that leaves profound impressions.
