Demanding to be seen on as large a screen as possible, this is nature documentary vaulted to a wondrous new level, revealing the great frozen North through four seasons. Many surprises await the viewer as the animals above and below the ice are masterfully captured on celluloid, often from breathtaking proximity, by intrepid outdoor specialists Thierry Ragobert and Thierry Piantanida. The focus is on the ebb and flow of all life in the Arctic, immersing us in the fantastic diversity of this extraordinarily complex ecosystem. 86 mins.
“At times meditative, joyous and astonishing, …. audiences of all ages will be entranced by these breathtaking images.” Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile.
