Natar Ungalaaq as Arnook (Yue’s Dad)

Man, I keep switching actors for Yue’s family! But Natar Ungalaaq’s face shape and cheekbones are just perfect for Arnook.

Natar Ungalaaq is an actor best known for playing Mukpullu in “Kabloonak” (1994), Tommy at “Trial at Fortitude Bay” (1994), Ootah in “Glory & Honor” (1998), Atanarjuat in “Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner” (2001), Jimmy Tarniq in “Sleep Murder” (2004), Nuqallaq in “The Journals of Knud Rasmussen” (2006), Tiivii in “The Necessities of Life” (2008), Tadlo in “Maïna” (2013), Noah in “Iqaluit” (2016), Pete in “The Grizzlies” (2018), and Big Turk in “Little Dog” (2019).

The Grizzlies (2018)

The Grizzlies is a sports drama that’s a cut above the rest. It tells its inspirational story with a surprising sensibility - which I guess is another factor which makes it uniquely Canadian. Some of this material would be emotional no matter how you presented it but the execution makes it something special.

The northern community of Kugluktuk, Nunavut, boasts the highest rate of suicide in North America. Many of the students skip class to help provide for their impoverished families. For them, there’s little to after their chores except for alcohol and drugs. High school teacher Russ Shepherd (Ben Schnetzer) is sent to the wintry village to teach where he comes to believe that giving the students something to be proud of, their own lacrosse team, will help.

No, this is not one of those “white savior” movies where the outsider comes to a community of aboriginal peoples and finds a way to wrench them from their worst demons. It may seem that way initially, but trust me. Firstly, this is a feel-good, crowd-pleaser but not always. The Grizzlies does not shy away from showing just how serious the situation in Kugluktuk is. Suicide is prominently discussed, as is substance abuse, the lingering damage of residential schools, violence at home, and poverty. A single game could never solve all these, but they might bring a glimmer of hope to a select few, and it’s the community that ensured Russ' idea is more than vapor. 

There’s an uncommon sensitivity found in this film by Miranda de Pencier. To give you an idea (and this is something I’d never seen before), the end credits, where they show how Adam (Ricky Marty-Pahtaykan), Kyle (Booboo Stewart), Spring (Anna Lambe), and Miranda (Emerald MacDonald) did after these events make sure to tell you which characters are composites, how their portrayal differs from the real-life people, etc. Russ is the main character but the students are given their own, meaty parts to play, with Paul Nutarariaq standing out as particularly good. I’ll also single out Tantoo Cardinal as the school’s principal, the closest thing the film has to an antagonist. Unlike Russ, she isn't naive and knows the price of failed promises.

The biggest surprise in The Grizzlies is the outcome of the “big game” because there isn’t really one. The victory comes when Russ doesn't attend a lacrosse practice by itself, when the community gets excited about this extra-curricular activity, when a student who has stopped going to school for years comes in so he can earn the right to go to practices. It builds to a conclusion unlike the kind you're used to in these kind of inspirational sports films. The frankness makes it feel even more uplifting despite the numerous tragedies we've faced along the way. (Theatrical version on the big screen, April 21, 2019)

Casting Collage: Water Tribe Pt. 2

Since my post on “Face Inspirations” got such a positive reception, I thought I’d share my very extensive “casting” collage for the Water Tribe, from my other tumblr: Avatar Fancast. To make it more relevant to this Tumblr, I’ll list the indigenous ancestry of each actor I’ve chosen:

Amber Midthunder (Yue): Hunkpapa Lakota, Hudeshabina Nakoda & Sissiton Dakota.

Natar Ungalaaq (Arnook): Igloolik Inuit

Kalani Queypo (Bato): Blackfeet

Ajuawak Kapashesit (Hahn): Anishinaabe and Cree

Rick Mora (Kuruk): Apache and Yaqui

Tantoo Cardinal (Hama): Cree and Métis

[cupoffilipino]

The Inuit actor Natar Ungalaaq is just as old as my dad. They are currently both 61. His face, seeing this movie, is familiar because I’ve seen before his 2008, Necessities of Life (Ce qu'il faut pour vivre) way back when I was already 19 (I am about turn this month 31).

The actress (Marie-Josée Croze) is beautiful. She reminds me of someone I told I love earlier this year. I don’t see her anymore and it was on August 27 we were in the same location. She played the role of Carmen pretty well. She was really nice to the Inuit people. It’s apparent, though, that her gravely injured husband (François Papineau as Gilles) was more tolerate and with more amiable relations with the white-Canadian-surrounded Inuit in Nunavut’s only city. You will never see Carmen naked (they could have had mated with Noah (Natar Unqalaaq) in one tent scene) and would only be able to imagine her as far as peeing in nature. She hates her hospitalized husband because of another affair he had had. Noah is Christian and, having been told about this emotion by her in a bar he was invited to after a phone call, he brought her to a faraway place in the Northwestern territories where he went to keep his mind relaxed and did not disobey the Christian teachings. No side seemed attracted anyways to one another. Carmen seemed simply in need for someone to listen to her and that’s what Noah gave her gratuitously. The suicide of Noah’s son is prevented eventually. That probably has to do with Noah doing the right thing.

August 27, fifteen years ago, was when my nine-year-long, one-and-only-real relationship started. I wouldn’t have been the same person I have already been now, had ‘we’ not happened. I mean to say I am already different. Change has to happen all the time. You wouldn’t need a girlfriend. But God will give.

Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner (2001)

Atanarjuat: the Fast Runner has undeniable historical significance. Its cinematography, the way it immerses you into the Inuit's culture, the clear passion throughout deserve praise. It's a good film that could have been great with a few tough, but necessary calls that would've made it more accessible to those who don't already know the legend. Or maybe that's what makes it great.

Atanarjuat (Natar Ungalaaq, very good in his performance) is betrayed by his second wife, Puja (Lucy Tulugarjuk). She conspires with her brother Oki (Peter-Henry Arnatsiaq) to have Atanarjuat murdered. In the ensuing chase, Atanarjuat must return to his people to save his first wife, Atuat (Sylvia Ivalu), and get his revenge upon those who have wronged him, and heal his community.

This picture was made by the Inuit people, for them. For untold generations, this story had only been told orally. Now it lives forever, captured on film. If you’re not already familiar with this story, it's hard to keep up with it. There are many characters, some of which seem important at first, but disappear as the plot unfolds. Atanarjuat’s older brother Amajuaq (Pakak Innuksuk) is married, but his wife only appears in the picture for a couple of scenes and then vanishes. The story is made difficult to follow because it's hard to tell one character from another. Everyone is covered head-to-toe with grey, white, and black parkas. Unless you can speak Inuktitut your attention will be divided between the bottom of the screen and the main action. Everything about the film is wholly authentic, but would it have been a betrayal to give key characters a piece of jewelry to wear around their neck, or maybe a scar on the bad guy’s cheek to make him stand out?

You can tell this is a dream come true for director Zacharias Kunuk. Atanarjuat is an epic that lasts 2 hours and 47 minutes. It feels as though every iteration of the story has been combined to form a "truer" tale that also maintains a certain mythical quality (which explains why most characters feel human while the main villain is wholly evil). It's fascinating to watch because it's unlike anything you've seen before. Through this one myth, you get a strong impression of what this culture is like. You experience virtually every aspect of Inuit life, from childhood to romance, their equivalent of a judiciary system, folk songs, even jokes.

Norman Cohn's cinematography makes Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner feel uniquely surreal, and documentary-like at once. It's like the cameras just happened to be there when the greatest hero the Inuit people ever knew had his greatest adventure. While you’re probably hearing this tale for the first time, elements of it are common to every culture. Overall, it’s not that difficult to follow if you put yourself in the mindset of myth/fairy tale, or (and I recommend this so you have an easier time following the movie) you familiarize yourself with the events of this legend ahead of time.

For many, the story behind the film will resonate with them. Writing the script wasn't as easy as sitting down and re-reading a childhood-favorite novel. Getting the funding necessary from the National Film Board of Canada was a struggle. Ensuring the language - largely forgotten by everyone except elders - was accurately captured was an enriching experience that brought those involved back to their roots. For the rest, Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner takes some getting used to. You might need to sit down and watch it more than once, which can feel like a lot when you look at the running time. As I sit with it now, I can feel my enthusiasm for the film growing. I'll return to it someday. (Original Inuktitut with English subtitles, On DVD, July 8, 2016)

MALIGLUTIT

You don’t need a dozen state of the art cameras to produce a good film, you just need a good place to point one.

The equipment reportedly covered in sheepskin for the north-Canadian shoot in well-below freezing temperatures, Maliglutit, in part not dissimilar to John Ford’s seminal western The Searchers, follows an Inuit man who returns to his home to discover his wife and daughter have been kidnapped.

Pursuing three Inuit men over the transfixing landscape, Maliglutit’s strength is not so much drawn from its straightforwardly compelling three-act structure but the more contemplative moments scattered throughout the film, as the Directors Zacharias Kunuk and Natar Ungalaaq allow the lens to rest on any number of spellbinding sites and vistas.

Whether sledding across a vast expanse, patiently plying away at daily chores or preparing for a night ensconced in shelters, themselves not a respite from the chilling conditions all too evident on the actors’ frozen faces, the lack of jump-cuts and selective use of music overloads the audience not with the likes of suspense stock-standard in dramas but the more measured, striking tones of a film that is in every sense irrevocably raw.

Set in the early 20th century, Maliglutit may as well be timeless; the lack of direct references to the precise time and place of the film itself conveying an arresting, roundly universal narrative of a man in desperate search of his family. Lacking the powerful story-arc or iconic features that made The Searchers such a success, from which Maliglutit clearly draws no small degree of inspiration, the film is nonetheless engaging for its patient perusal of a life unfamiliar to many, it’s most powerful moments resonating both from dramatic developments and the more subtlety compelling exchanges between characters navigating the terrain, or otherwise going about their lot alone.

As insightful as it is eye-catching, you won’t be want to turn your gaze from the screen and the film’s many riveting visuals. Thankfully, the filmmakers knew just when, and how sparingly, to temper the view.

Maliglutit is screening at the Sydney Film Festival – for tickets head to theFestival website
