...but I really liked it. Why? Maybe because it's honest work.A television movie something between Dersu Uzala and Jeremiah Johnson. Does not have Robert Redford but has a short participation of Maksim Munzuk. Magnificent scenery, good OST, great scenes with animals and some good actors. Yes is a co production between Russia and Japan but for me that is synonymous of quality as is the participation of Nikita Mikhalkov passing almost unnoticed. I confess that I'm a fan of this kind of movies and maybe I'm being a bit nice, so I think it's just for those who like me love this kind of movies that praise the man's struggle with nature, but a fair fight.Pity i only find a DVD version not very good (as my English)with Russian audio and just Hardcode Subtitles in Japanese.
