An astonishing and humanist story of resilience in the face of tragedy - created by contemporary Inuit Native Americans,
By Nathan Andersen "film lover, philosophy profe... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Before Tomorrow (DVD)
Two older women and a young man take an annual trip to an island where they dry fish, expecting to be taken home before the water freezes. When their family fails to return at the expected time, and after the oldest woman passes away, the boy and his grandmother must find ways to cope on their own. Before Tomorrow is the third in a trilogy of films (beginning with The Fast Runner (Atanarjuat) and The Journals of Knud Rasmussen), made by contemporary Inuit natives as a way of recapturing a sense of their past. It is a beautiful and intimate story, and the tenderness between grandmother and grandson is palpable and moving, as when she encourages him to speak bravely of his first seal hunt.The tribe that the three travellers belong to is a small and intimate group, who spend their time hunting and travelling, and sharing stories by the fire. An old man tells a story about a strange boat that came from nowhere bearing light-skinned travellers, who shared a strange and bitter drink with them that made them laugh, and then gave them needles as exchange to sleep with their women. Those listening are amused, but can hardly believe it. The implications of the story, that their isolation from the rest of the world is beginning to end, only later become clear. Unlike Nanook of the North, Robert Flaherty's classic but controversial film about traditional Inuit life, the film is clearly fiction, and the actors are acting rather than pretending. Nevertheless, the film feels remarkably authentic, the things they say appear spontaneous, their reactions genuine. It is an astonishing and humanist story of resilience in the face of tragedy, and of the power of stories to connect us to a known past as we move into an unexpected and unpredictable future.
