A movie recommendation
The Necessities of Life - Ce qu'il faut pour vivre (click here for short Variety review)
Just watched this movie on French TV. I wish I'd caught it from the start, but I was just channel surfing and got sucked in. Mostly in inuktituk with French subtitles, the other spoken language is French (but there's an English version of the movie which I assume is fully subtitled in English.)
Don't believe the trailer, that makes it seem like it's about: Racism! Clash of cultures! He cheats on his wife!!
It's really the man's relationship with a fellow Innu patient, an orphan boy, who helps him adjust to his new surroundings; and who he in turn teaches about his heritage. It's a gentle, sweet, not emotionally over-wrought film. I highly recommend it.
QUOTE OF THE NOW
"Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower. 'Lead us not into temptation.'" Joseph Campbell
