Ipswich Film Theatre - 8 October 2012 - 7.30pm

A Russian surveyor is guided through the forests of Siberia by a Mongolian hunter and taught how to survive. This untypical work, made after an intensely difficult period for the director, is both a meditation on the difficulty of adapting to the world with age, and a visually splendid poem to man’s insignificance.

AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Stunning film; The power of silence in the film at moments of high emotion was really well shown. Showed the hugeness of nature and smallness of humans; No sex, no violence, no special effects – wish they made more films like this; A trifle long; The skill in telling a ten minute plot over 2½ hours defies description; Tiger should have got them all.
