The photography is magnificent. The story is interesting and the scenery stunningly beautiful.
The wolves are delightful and the shooting of them quite amazing.
I'd love to love the film altogether.
Sadly, though, it is dubbed horribly into Californian. Hearing Siberian tribesmen talking in valley slang is just so unsympathetic. Besides, the dialogue is hopelessly PC.
If only they could have given us the choice of the original soundtrack and sub-titles, the film would be a delight.
Why spoil something excellent by making it seem as low-life and trashy as Los Angeles???
You'd have though that somebody with the sensitivity to make such a good film would sense that it jars so cruelly. I've considered stopping the film and giving up many times, just because of this perverse language.
