Title: One of the best movie I've ever seen
Review: This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's brutal, but for people who live in this harsh environment these brutal laws are the only chance to survive. I've read many books about the Russian eskimos and the other people of the North who live in similar conditions - they have very similar brutal laws and customs. Strict children selection, severe punisments for theft - all these realities could be found in the North as well. Like in this Japanese village, the old people, when they can no longer work, go to the forest, make the final fire and freeze to death. This movie is not a fantasy, but the reality of survival in the harsh environment. This movie shows how the people live close to the nature, struggle with it, yet truly integrated into it? Excellent staging, great actors make this film a true masterpiece.
