Reel Time Screening: Uiksaringitara (Wrong Husband)

Celebrated Inuk director Zacharias Kunuk (Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner) returns with this captivating and epic historical drama about an arranged marriage, set 4,000 years ago. Seamlessly blending the supernatural with verité realism, Uiksaringitara (Wrong Husband) is a bold romantic vision punctuated by strange deaths, village upheavals, and swarming suitors. With arresting imagery, his trademark humour, and a cast of mostly non-professional actors, Kunuk has again created a world that not only builds upon Inuit stories and legends to enthrall audiences but works to preserve these reimagined stories for generations to come. Born from oral traditions and committed to authenticity, Uiksaringitara is a unique feat of both cultural conservation and engrossing cinema.
