This movie has been a favorite at my house for years, and it begs for a new special edition DVD (the old one is somewhat grainy and non-anamorphic, with no extras apart from the trailer).A wonderful story, beautifully shot and realized on film. Carroll Ballard has 2 other films that are well worth viewing, too-Fly Away Home and Never Cry Wolf (the latter is especially good).

is that I knew nothing of this film. In 1979 I think the 60's were winding down or something. I may have missed a lot of things!! I was dusted by it. I did not get the name of the cinephotographer however, do you know it?

But it lacks the poetry and wonder of the original, which is a true classic.BTW, director Carroll Ballard has a new film coming out in a couple of weeks (see link).

did the camera work. A distinguished cinema photographer if there ever was one.
