At first, I was attracted by the name, or the word "happy". I didn't know what kind of film this was, or even a documentary. Just download it in a hurry to your computer and watch it when you're bored on vacation. It's been a year and I just finished reading it today. All I knew at the time was...

The tranquility in this icy world, unpretentious but fascinating. It's really a white paradise, the hunters and cabins in European fairy tales are probably like that, right? I really yearn for the kind of life that is simple and full of self-sufficiency every day. Of course, only when tired. I...

I used to wonder why Russians are so addicted to vodka. The proverb says that on a winter night, a bachelor in Russia is more willing to hold a bottle of vodka than a wife, and a person with a wife becomes a bachelor the next day.

I just watched it today, it is still Herzog's style, restrained and calmly recording the life of the people in a village throughout the year, there are industrious, alcoholic opportunists, and hunters say themselves.

Recently I watched Happy People, a documentary about how a group of people living in Siberia live throughout the year, cutting down trees, building fishing boats, fishing, receiving food and so on. Although the title of this documentary is called "Happy Life", the conditions are really difficult,...

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,...

The Russians here, living in isolated virgin forests, have only two ways to get to the outside world, one is by helicopter, and the other is by boat when the river thaws in summer. They live in wooden houses and maintain the way of life passed down from generation to generation. Watching...
