Flaherty's poetic vision of nature and the human spirit fills every frame of this amazing film. Through the eyes of a young Cajun boy living on the Bayou, Flaherty tells a story of disruption and change when an oil rig brings industry into his pristine world. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
Well, it has its charm, not gonna lie, but on the other hand, I think there could have been a bit more interesting things filmed in that area. It can't be praised. Some scenes are good, they managed to film really great scenes with the animals, but that is truly the main contribution. And of course, the depiction of the era and the perspective on mining.
