Movie Reviews of The Frozen North
Movie Review: An Alaskan Narrative
Summary: 5 Stars
Dick Proenneke's "Alone in the Wilderness" detailed the "how" of his life in Alaska. "The Frozen North" provides a view into the joys and risks of his chosen, isolated, way of living. It includes some footage of prior films, but with the valuable insight of the moment and beyond. One of the best features of this film is the narrator- Dick Proenneke. While his friend, Bob Swerer narrated his earlier features, this time we get to hear Proenneke himself. His manner of speech, understated emotion, and love of the challenging land he called home, makes this a wonderful hour-long experience.
Summary of The Frozen North
For more than 30 years a man by the name of Dick Proenneke lived alone in the Alaskan Bush. His only neighbors were the wolves and the grizzly bears. His only transportation was his canoe and a good set of legs. Through the years, Dick kept written journals of daily life at Twin Lakes but would also document much of his adventure on film with his 16mm Bolex camera. The Frozen North is Dick's own filmed account of his life alone in this "One Man's Wilderness". Certainly Proenneke's story is a dream shared by many but fulfilled by few. Yet through this video we can share with a man who lived his dream.Similar DVD Movies
