Shot over the course of a year in Northern Greenland, the film intrudes audiences to a remote village with more dogs than people. The film focuses on four townsfolk from the tiny population of 59 - Lars, the only teenager; Karl, the huntsman who has never acknowledged that Lars is his son; Ilanngauq, the outsider who moved to Niaqornat after meeting his wife on-line; and Annie, the elder who remembers the ways of the Shaman and a time when the lights were fueled by seal blubb...

Full Plot Details

Shot over the course of a year in Northern Greenland, the film intrudes audiences to a remote village with more dogs than people. The film focuses on four townsfolk from the tiny population of 59 - Lars, the only teenager; Karl, the huntsman who has never acknowledged that Lars is his son; Ilanngauq, the outsider who moved to Niaqornat after meeting his wife on-line; and Annie, the elder who remembers the ways of the Shaman and a time when the lights were fueled by seal blubber. In this astutely constructed real-life drama, we see how the economic and ecological future of the community is more fragile than its hardy inhabitants.

Movie Reviews

Financial Times - 8/10 by Antonia QuirkeThe mind boggles at the thought of how it was here pre-electricity and motor boats, although elderly villagers don't exactly recoil from the memory of sputtering blubber lamps.
The Skinny - 8/10 by Chris BuckleBeautifully-shot and purposely unsentimental, Village... is an insightful study of lives in transition.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by David ParkinsonVisually immaculate and thought-provoking stuff.
Time Out - 8/10 by Dave CalhounMuch like its subject, this film by Sarah Gavron has a leisurely, warm pace.
London Evening Standard - 6/10 by Derek MalcolmThis is a warm-hearted and affecting tribute to a tenacious people who seem to know the score better than most of us.
The Mail on Sunday (UK) - 6/10 by Jason SolomonsWhat makes their film so beautiful and refreshing is the way it touches on themes of climate and cultural change without any hectoring or guilt trips, using humour and humanity to make its gentle points.
Guardian - 6/10 by Peter BradshawThere a gentle sweetness and charm to this documentary by film-maker Sarah Gavron, her first film since the adaptation of Monica Ali's novel Brick Lane six years ago.
User Review - 8/10 by Adam S"Village at the End of the World" is a solid, if not exceptional, documentary looking at life in a very remote village. In this case, the village is Niaqornat, population 59, in Greenland. While it is eye-opening and always a pleasure to get glimpes into how people live in different parts of the world, this film is a tad shallow, delving only into the what, but not the why. For example, as a community of hunters, there is great pride shown in being able to slay a polar bear. This community, who are shown to be aware of outside issues through things such as the Internet and Bridgette Bardot (described as a "silly woman") but no justification besides honour is put forward for the slaughter of an endangered species. Had the film delved down that past, it could have been much much more interesting. As it is, it's just a nice watch.
User Review - 8/10 by Mind the Book oOnce upon a time in my youth I was travelling to New York. As we flew over Greenland this German couple kept bothering me, pointing down at the spectacular ice boulders - Guck mal! GUCK MAL! I have not seen Greenland in the flesh since. Tonight, though, Netflix took me there!
User Review - 6/10 by Michael HA pleasant hour-and-a-quarter with the residents of Niaqornat, Greenland. Some amusement. Some light insights. Sarah Gavron puts together a nice documentary about people who are coping, surviving, adapting, and reasonably happy rather than a dour portrayal of lost and doomed people as so many of these remote village documentaries do. Gavron's skill is revealed most clearly in the juxtaposition of a tourist interview talking about the unspoiled traditional people with images of an Inuit teen trudging up from the beach wearing high top sneakers and a hoodie, then segueing to a child sitting on a bench hunched over her laptop as the tourist goes on about the lack of modern conveniences. She doesn't deliver this with a hammerblow, but lets us notice and catch on in our own time.
