{"product_id":"unknown-shadow-of-the-wolf-0774212110139","title":"Shadow Of The Wolf","description":"Based on the French-Canadian novel Agaguk by Yves Theriault, this big-budget English-language film is set during the 1930s in the Canadian Arctic. Agaguk (Lou Diamond Phillips) is an Inuk who kills a white fur trader and then flees across the frozen tundra with his girlfriend (Jennifer Tilly). This sprawling drama has a sluggish start thanks to a dry script (Evan Jones and Rudy Wurlitzer) slow direction (Jacques Dorfmann) and stereotypical \"Indian\" performances from the non-Inuit actors. It improves slightly with the arrival of Donald Sutherland as a Mountie sent to hunt Agaguk down. Shadow of the Wolf is one of the most expensive Canadian movies ever made (over $30 million), and it has nice scenery, big sets, a trained polar bear and even a $2 million rubber whale for a whale hunting scene. It certainly gets points for ambition, but the Canadian Dances With Wolves it isn't. A similar, more compelling Canadian movie is the biographical epic Grey Owl. --D.K.
