Atanarjuat (The Fast Runner)
Filmed in the Canadian Arctic, it is an amazing film that works both as a work of fiction and a documentary. The story has everything- romance, murder, suspense, legend, sex, and one of the best chase scenes ever (without explosions or overwhelming music, just a man running barefoot across the ice.) But the most affecting part of the film is how it shows the life of the Inuit tribe and how incredibly different their culture is from anything we know. It is like visiting another planet.
