Surprisingly incoherent and boring

So much average

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Russian Wolf Hunt (1910) ** (out of 4) This documentary takes us to Russia where we see how wolf hunts were done back in the day. This thing lasts under three minutes so one really shouldn't expecting anything ground-breaking and it's certainly not all that entertaining. What we basically have is a camera set up as a group of dogs go after wolves. If you're easily upset by violence then you might just want to skip this all together because it does show several wolves being killed by the dogs. Overall this is fair to say the least. Some might find it interesting because you get to see carriages from 1910 as well as outfits that people were wearing in the day. As far as the hunting footage goes, it's pretty bland. Usually the camera is so far away that they miss most of the action and there's one sequence where the action goes right past the camera but whoever is operating it doesn't even bother to turn and continue in on the action.
