Antarctica: Review

starstarstarstar
This interesting dog story, narrated in English, concerns a team of sled dogs left chained to posts at an antarctic research station by a Japanese team that expects to be replaced immediately. Bad weather delays the relief team, and the dogs are left to their own resources for survival. Eight of the 15 manage to slip their collars. The rest die where they're chained. The freed dogs search for food, attacking a walrus, catching fish through the ice, and one by one meet a variety of adversities. The film contains amazing cinematography of locations in Canada, the Arctic, and Antarctica, and the direction makes each dog a distinct character in the same way the old Walt Disney "True-Life" adventures did. The harrowing deaths of some of the dogs may be too much for younger and more sensitive viewers. Based on a true story from 1958, the film became the second most successful film in Japanese history, after Steven Spielberg's E.T. (1982). leave a comment
