Audience Member first movie shot completely in Greenland. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Heart of Light (2000) - Greenland was relatively untouched until after World War II, when the Danes negotiated a deal, which led Greenland toward modernization, and the national confusion that followed. The central character, who's father made centralization possible, struggled against the loss of national identify until it drug him into alcoholism, family dysfunction, and finally, into tragedy. What follows is a walk along a razors edge of stark reality and mysticism. Great cinematography. Acting so good that you'll forget you're watching a movie. The story will take you in. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Some pretty cool stuff here, but an interest in Greenlandic/Danish politics and culture is somewhat of a prerequisite. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
