Far North Premieres at the Venice Film Festival
Far North recently premiered at the Venice Film Festival. Until now not much was known about the film, but thanks to Reuters.com we now have a glimpse of the storyline.
Here's an excerpt:
Far North offers chilling lessons.
"Set in the northern reaches of Norway in a land that is almost timeless, the film begins with an act of cruelty rendered with utmost gentleness as Saiva sacrifices one of her dogs for its blood and meat. The only human she allows near her is Anja (Krusiec), a beautiful young woman she has raised since saving her life as an infant.
There is a sense of threat not only from the climate but also from the heavy boots of unleashed military authority. All is well, however, until one day a man shows up near death. Loki (Bean) is from a village far away fleeing rampaging soldiers, and to Anja's surprise, Saiva takes him in. It's not a good move."
