Voilà, some photos from French adventurer Nicolas Vanier's latest drama-documentary, Loup. The story centers on Sergei, a young reindeer herder in Siberia, who is forced to re-evaluate his clan's traditionally hostile view of wolves as both animal and man struggle for survival in the wilderness. Watch the trailer!
I can't judge how realistic it is, but it's full of eye-candy, that's for sure...
(However, it should be mentioned - it is so obvious - that a large part of the leading cast are francophone Southeast Asians. There are plenty of Siberians in supporting roles, and at least in my eyes, Nicolas Brioudes in the role of Sergei does a good job. But one wishes that the Evenk language could get a chance to be heard, even though this is a movie for the general public...)
Action...
... and romance...
Man (and reindeer) vs. nature...
Frostbite...
... and an unexpected rescue.
Humans have always been fascinated by seemingly selfless altruism among animals.
But it is, after all, that different from the mystery of human emotions?
Well, what do you expect, this is a French film after all.
Aww, they are really cute together...
Awww....!!!! Cute overload.
Teh cuteness - it WON'T STOP
Monsieur Vanier has a cute nose, too. Visit his homepage or see more photos.
Awww ... The wolves must be moviestar wolves from North America, since black wolfies are much less common in Eurasia. But the reindeer are probably local talents. It's a truly international tribute to the rugged two-legged and four-legged inhabitants of Evenia!
