SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS: AFTERNOON MOVIE--Never Cry Wolf
(1983) Directed by Carroll Ballard 105 min Rated PG
An inexperienced biologist is dropped in the middle of the Arctic Circle and told to document the destruction of the ecosystem caused by wolves—but what if the wolves aren’t to blame? Farley Mowat’s classic memoir of solitude and learning to live with nature is well served by poetic rhythms, crisp performances, and awe-inspiring cinematography. The sense of impending loss that hangs over the film makes it more relevant than ever
