I saw this movie in Paris when it first came out. I loved it. The filming is uncanny and amazing.

I especially liked the filming of the beluga whales. They were ghostly, other-worldly. Although I was aware of many of the animals in the Arctic, I had no idea that there was such diversity and therefore so much to lose due to a warmer planet.

While this movie may or may not show the impacts of global warming in the Arctic, it shows what we stand to lose in the Arctic due to global warming.

I recommend this movie to anyone who might be even slightly interested in the Arctic and wildlife.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
