This movie was made in 1983 and I used to have it on video tape as a kid, but I hadn’t seen it since the 80s and I re-watched it as an adult yesterday. It was such a moving film. It was stunningly beautiful both visually and thematically. The running with caribou scene was some really incredible animal footage which must have been a nightmare to stage.

Charles Martin Smith really sells the difficulties and terrors of survival and the awe of nature, and it’s too bad it didn’t catapult him into a bigger career since he deserves it.

What do others here think of it?

    I’ll never forget watching the ads for other movies on rented VHS tapes. They were peak cheesy, not unsimilar to that text.
