The sense of life we rarely see

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Generally speaking, I don't like Western films about life in Russia. Usually you get some superficial fluff not worth your time, so I stay away from them.

I hesitated several times before clicking the Play button on "Happy People: A Year in the Taiga"

This is the story of Russian trappers living in an extremely isolated remote village in the heart of Siberia, told and narrated by Werner Herzog.

I am glad I went through the first twenty minutes without turning it off, as it began to pull me in, as the simple story progressed.

So now I almost feel like going back to seeing it again.

I strongly recommend it as a welcome diversion from your typical TV fare... it is just poetic enough to make a great family evening, without being sappy.

Wonderful sub-story on dogs, in particular.
