This is the best documentary I've ever seen. So much to my liking! When I saw the snowy fields and coniferous forests, the frozen Yenisei River and the gliding hunters, I was sure it would be my favorite shooting location. Surprisingly afterwards, the film has a relatively complete and rich story, and the characters and nature are shown too full and vivid. As the seasons change, the ice surface of the Yenisei River shatters and flows slowly towards the Arctic Ocean. Hunters are ready to hunt in every season. They collaborated to build log cabins, fish, canoes, and a sense of primitiveness so real that only living there would know: almost no modern machinery, oil from bark to repel mosquitoes, mud and moss for waterproofing, etc. Wait. When it was time to hunt, they brought toasted crumbs and stood by the river to say goodbye to their relatives drinking vodka. The hunters are determined to be free, honest and brave. For example, they don't pay attention to the politician who doesn't get off the boat but stands on the high side of the boat and sings for votes; for example, after the hunter's dog jumped on the bear, he died in his arms and taught the dog how to do a good job. famous hunting dogs; for example, hunters are more willing to participate in this fair game in the natural world than self-deceived pig farmers. In the thousands of kilometers of snow-covered taiga, there is only themselves, the free and sober self. Ah, tearful 5 stars.
