But lets forget about that for a moment and focus on the premise. The film's protagonist is Sergei, who has been chosen to guard the reindeer. To protect the clan's reindeer from prowling wolves is a great honour. However, when Sergei stumbles upon wolf pups, and sees how protective their mother is of them, he can't bring himself to hurting them. Instead, he starts visiting them every day until they become familiar with him. In the process, he neglects his duties as guardian of the reindeer, and becomes annoyed with the rest of his clan.
When he falls in love with Nastazya and shows her the wolves, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to keep their secret, and protect the herd at the same time. There's plenty of action and adventure, and beautiful cinematography. The wolves are absolutely adorable!
I've yet been unable to verify whether the entire film was shot on location, or in front of blue screens. Either way, it looks really good on screen - especially the winter scenes, which are magnificent. While there's much to love about the film, the dubbing ruined most of it for me. I would love to see this film in French!
Having seen 'Wolf Totem' recently, 'Loup' felt like a Disney family movie. It is a well made film and worth the watch, but I doubt I'll watch it again.
I tend to agree with the person who also made an observation about the French language adding that he felt Californian dubbing would have been even worse. But it is not a reason either way to give it a miss. It is a beautiful contact with mother nature despite is necessary cruelty.
Cinematography is absolutely dazzling, camera angles and a superb score enhance the impression of magnificence and it's a feat the director could manage to shoot this beautiful story in such a freezing surrounding. The denunciation of ecological disasters like deforestation was also one of the filmmaker's goals.
If you're tired of being manipulated by the Hollywood imperialism, why not having a break on the other side of the world with this harrowing story?
The wolves are delightful and the shooting of them quite amazing.
I'd love to love the film altogether.
Sadly, though, it is dubbed horribly into Californian. Hearing Siberian tribesmen talking in valley slang is just so unsympathetic. Besides, the dialogue is hopelessly PC.
If only they could have given us the choice of the original soundtrack and sub-titles, the film would be a delight.
Why spoil something excellent by making it seem as low-life and trashy as Los Angeles???
You'd have though that somebody with the sensitivity to make such a good film would sense that it jars so cruelly. I've considered stopping the film and giving up many times, just because of this perverse language.
