Far North (drama)
Cast: Michelle Yeoh, Sean Bean, Michelle Krusiec
Direction: Asif Kapadia
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.
