Set in an eerily stateless, ahistorical landscape, Far North (at Theatre Clwyd this evening) is a disturbing, beautiful to look at and rather empty film about maternalism,survival and rivalry. Saiva (The stunning Michelle Yeoh) and her adopted daughter Anja (Michelle Krusiec) live isolated and hunted lives out on the tundra. A soldier Sean Bean blunders into their lonely camp, fleeing an unseen enemy. The trio battle the hardships of the frozen landscape with eventual tragic results.Yeap not a bag of laughs and all rather obscure for my liking, but at least Yeoh is always worth the price of a cinema ticket!
7/10
