  • "Dramatisation of an Inuit legend, the story of one man's lonely battle against an evil spirit which has wrought terrible devastation upon his community."
  • "Set amongst the Inuit people of the arctic, the film is a thrilling, passionate story exploring the universal themes of love, revenge and survival. When a small, nomadic community is cursed by an unknown shaman, the curse is still felt years later. Atanarjuat falls in love with Atuat, a woman already promised to the son of the clan's leader. In a fight, she is won by Atanarjuat causing vengeful clan leader Oki to plot to attack Atanarjuat and his brother in their sleep. Atanarjuat manages to escape and sets off running across the ice, embarking on a harrowing adventure to survive in the brutal wilderness. His journey ends when he returns, stronger and wiser, to reclaim his life and stop the curse that has divided his people."
  • "Evil in the form of an unknown shaman disrupts life in a small community of nomadic Inuit. The strange shaman leaves behind a lingering curse of bitterness and discord. The bitterness of earlier rivalries come to a head years later when one son of the displaced leader is murdered and the other has to run for his life across the spring sea ice. This dramatic adaptation of an ancient Inuit legend has won numerous awards."
