Movie Reviews of Alone in the Wilderness

Movie Review: great, great documentary...
Summary: 5 Stars

I've seen this film during PBS pledge drives, and it's a great story. Couldn't be happier with it. It's beautifully shot, the narration is great and slightly quirky. It seems like a little piece of the 50's, and very authentic. However, DO NOT BUY the companion DVD: "THE FROZEN NORTH." It's much the same video from Alone in the Wilderness, with much of the exact same narration, but the narration is entirely unintelligible. It's Dick Proenneke's own narration, I believe, but save yourself the disappointment--his microphone, and his delivery make him sound almost retarded--and most of it is literally unintelligible. It was a colossal disappointment, and I love the first film. To say the second DVD is a rip-off is an understatement: Bob Swerer Productions should be ashamed to sell it. It was probably a working copy that led to the first film.

Summary of Alone in the Wilderness

"Alone in the Wilderness" is the story of Dick Proenneke. To live in a pristine land unchanged by man... to roam a wilderness through which few other humans have passed... to choose an idyllic site, cut trees and build a log cabin... to be a self-sufficient craftsman, making what is needed from materials available... to be not at odds with the world, but content with one's own thoughts and company... Thousands have had such dreams, but Dick Proenneke lived them. He found a place, built a cabin, and stayed to become part of the country. This video "Alone in the Wilderness" is a simple account of the day-to-day explorations and activities he carried out alone, and the constant chain of nature's events that kept him company.
