Although he’s warned to expect boredom and bitter cold, Anders, a young Danish primary school teacher, accepts a post in Tiniteqiilaq, a remote village of 80 inhabitants in Greenland. Arriving with certain preconceptions—the “Danish look” as one villager calls it—Anders contends with cultural differences and an unruly classroom, to say nothing of the snow. Wondering what it takes to be accepted in this “hellhole,” he’s advised to try learning the language and local ways—hunting, sledding, fishing. How hard can it be, he figures, to ride a sled?
French filmmaker Samuel Collardey often explores the blurry terrain between fiction and documentary. Meticulously constructed, A Polar Year blends purely documentary sequences with scripted moments involving the villagers. But these distinctions become academic as you give yourself over to cinema that’s thoroughly absorbing and visually breathtaking. Collardey spent months in the village before learning of Anders’s assignment and starting to film. His “reverse assimilation” story reflects delightfully on Eurocentrism as well as on Tiniteqiilaq’s indigenous people, changing seasons, and rhythms of life and death.

朴实,宁静又美好。像一部叙事电影,也像一部纪录片。人物性格简单透明,也没有跌宕起伏的剧情。一切都很生活。有纯粹的快乐,也有直白的无奈,就连争吵也都是自然而然的。日子很艰辛,风景也很美,适时而起的配乐意外地显得很好听。这就是地球北边某个小角落里一群人的真实生活,没有特别描写也没有刻意煽情。就是这样也让人觉得有暖暖的感动。
