| Publisher Description: One of the most important Native films of all time, Atanarjuat, the Fast Runner tells a powerful and moving story about honor, betrayal, vengeance, and redemption. Set in the vast, visually stunning Arctic landscape, it was the first feature film written, directed, and acted entirely in Inuktitut, the language of CanadaOCOs Inuit people. CanadaOCOs top-grossing release of 2002, the film became an international phenomenon, receiving the prestigious Camera dOCOOr Award at the Cannes Film Festival and earning rave reviews from every quarter, including Margaret Atwood (OC like Homer with a video cameraOCO), Claude L(r)vi-Strauss, Jacques Chirac, and Roger Ebert." |
