Leave your thoughts about The Journals of Knud Rasmussen.
| Premiere MagazineAaron HillisWonderfully elegiac... the melody of language is essential to the film's beauty, in which disposable small talk sounds like Confucius proverbs of biblical longevity. |
| Jam! MoviesBruce KirklandDespite its faults as a film, Journals stands alone. You simply cannot go elsewhere this year for self-expressed insights into the lives of people of Canada's north. |
| Not Coming to a Theater Near YouLeo GoldsmithA fascinating, multifaceted historiography and autoethnography, even if its story of cultural imperialism offers few new insights |
| Toronto StarGeoff PevereWhile the Europeans are compelled to share some of their own songs, beliefs and personal history, it's the telling of the Inuit stories that compels much of the movie. |
| Globe and MailRick GroenWatch as an entire social order collapses without a sound -- witness the seismic shift, hear the oblivious silence, and be moved. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeNot every admirer of the first film will enjoy it, but it values its subjects too much to mold their rhythms to an outsider's attention span. |
| User ReviewJams GYou did a very great job there sister. I'm proud of you. Keep up the good work. |
| User Reviewjonah kLoved it for it's story, from shamanism to Christianity, |
| User ReviewLouis CThis is up there amoung my all-time favourite decolonial films. The film is fabulous and was only made better by the behind-the-scenes documentary. In the film, it was a challenge to witness the trickling movement from Shamanism to Christianity without feeling some despair. Why this is an important film is that it stands as testimony to how Christianity was not successful in taking the Innu out of the Inuit. At the end of the documentary, Zacharias Kunuk shares that in spite of this movement, the ancestors are still around, waiting to come back. The collective effort in producing this film only strengths this statement. Despair, be gone. Hello healing, our old friend. |
| User ReviewRiley HA beautiful piece where poetry and reality converge perfect... I love when the shaman said to the white man "we believe happy people should not worry about hidden things" and "our spirits are offended if we think to much". Wow!!! |
