A fascinating, multifaceted historiography and autoethnography, even if its story of cultural imperialism offers few new insights

The sad story of how shamanism and the ancient ways of the Inuit was replaced by Christianity and a hatred of the world in one community in 1922.

Wonderfully elegiac... the melody of language is essential to the film's beauty, in which disposable small talk sounds like Confucius proverbs of biblical longevity.

Pushes forward, deeper and deeper among the ruins of a culture cast fatally adrift by modernization.

Top CriticDespite its faults as a film, Journals stands alone. You simply cannot go elsewhere this year for self-expressed insights into the lives of people of Canada's north.
