Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner (2003)

This movie was kind of slow paced, but once you kind of set yourself to that pace, it was pretty good. I think at one point they said the story is pretty universal among the Inuit, in the credits or the 'how it was made' part. It's basically about this guy named Atanarjuat, the fast runner, and it takes us through his life. The way it's told, now that I look back on it, has many of the same aspects as some of the less fantastical legends I've heard. The plot had a kind of 'epic' feel to it I guess. 

It was a very... real movie. There was no Hollywood drama or special effects, you felt like you were right there with them. It was a fascinating look at Inuit life and culture, and was pretty well done
