Critics
rating:
TWO
women and a man thrown together in the inhospitable Arctic Tundra can create
some compelling drama. Specially since there's a shortage of both food and
love.
Michelle Yeoh is a woman
who has been branded as cursed. She does find love but loses it, when her entire
community, including her husband, is killed by a bunch of marauders. She flees
into the cold with the lone survivor, a baby girl, and brings her up as her
daughter, teaching her to trust no one.
But the uneasy equilibrium
between the two suddenly veers into dangerous territory when she finds a man
(Sean Bean) dying in the snow. She brings him home, only to realise that he's
the bone of contention now, with both the mother and daughter vying for his
attention. The cold threatens to envelop her further when she learns the duo are
all set to leave her soon. It isn't the waters alone that begin to freeze; her
heart begins to turn cold too. Time for some bone-chilling
action....
Asif Kapadia who
made an impressive debut with The Warriors, does try to re-create another art
house experience with Far North. Watch it for its awesome cinematography and for
the hard-hitting climax.
