THE JOURNALS OF KNUD RASMUSSEN




Drama
In Inuit and Danish, with English sub-titles

PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Pakak Innuksuk: Avva, tribal elder
Jens Jorn Spottag: anthropologist Knud Rasmussen
and lots of others

REVIEW
After one-half hour all that had transpired was the group sat around in the igloo, had several cups of tea, smoked a pipe or two, someone sang a couple of songs and that’s it.

I simply could not bring myself to spending another hour and half of that stultifying action while peering at the screen trying to read the sub-titles (white letters in a white winter snowscape is not the best choice) so I left.
