'Ofelas' works almost like 'True Grit' in the sense of the audience seeing a teenager who wants to avenge the murder of his family. But all in all, thank you AMPAS for giving a nomination for this as Best Foreign Film, otherwise it'll probably been overlooked under my radar. Even with an American remake made in 2007 (I don't think I'll ever watch for countless reasons, to be exposed later on this review) I don't know if people still talk about this precious gem. 'Ofelas' ('Pathfinder') is one of those pictures that doesn't have the attention it deserves, neither a wider distribution that should have and it will stay in this underrated category for a long time.

I literally had to fight to track down and watch this movie but it worth all the trouble for it. It stars Karl Urban, Clancy Brown, and special mention to Russell Means, he was born Lakota Sioux, a good actor Native American, he along with Graham Greene, Rodney A Grant, Tantoo cardinal, Eric Schweitz and Wes Studi appear in all movies about Indian themes and it deals with a viking child raised by Native Americans, to take on the invaders Vikings. It had a remake titled ВЁPathfinderВЁ in 2007 by Marcus Nispel. He began to direct Waterworld (1995), but he thought the budget was blown up and the project too difficult to handle.

Gaup turned down offers to direct No without my daughter (1991) with Sally Field, RoboCop (1987) and many others. Gaup is a director and actor, who has made a few but acceptable films, being especially known for Pathfinder (1987),, Misery harbour (1989), Above Water (1993), North star (1996), Journey to the Christmas Star (2012)ДЄnd The last King (2017). He was born in 1955 in Kautokeino, Norway. Stunning and gripping realization by Nils Gaup. Stirring and evocative musical score by three Scandinavian composers. It's a kind of light mingled in a moody and foggy atmosphere. The atmospheric photography by Erling Andersen with a sort of never-ending dawn is truly awesome. Furthermore, the astonishing killings are gruesome executed and grisly graphic. The brutal invadersДresssed in black pelts deliver the goods, their appearance is spectacular and creepy. As the intelligent starring, Mikkel Gaup, will fight for his freedom and his people as well as he'll take off a nasty villain, performed by Helgi SkГєlason who doesn't say a word the entire film. The plot is plain and simple, some violent stranger warriors capture a young man and they want him to guide them to the coast, and start torturing him, then, things go wrong. It's the first version based on ancient folk-tale from Lapland, this classy adaptation is an exciting picture plenty of action, thrills, chills, roller-coaster ride, violence and breathtaking fights. He guides them and agrees to lead to the hiding place of his fellow villagers but he has a scheme to destroy the cutthroats barbarians before reach the camp. Unfortunately, they get him before he can do anything and force him to lead them to the other natives, threatening to kill a friend, when Aigin sees this he dashes forward, and says he will guide them. The young stays alone to revenge his families killers but he gets captured by the invading people. Meanwhile, the protagonist falls in love with a charming Native.

Afraid of the violent savage warriors, they decide to flee to the coast. The starring observes the massacre from a distance and he manages to flee these murderers and reaches a village with other Natives whose inhabitants are worried if he has been able to hide his leads. But merciless, ambitious and cruel barbarians suddenly appear and they are cruelly murdered. There a boy, Aigin : Mikkel Gaup, living with his native family, is hunting. Circa the year 1000 AD warlike people, the so-called 'tjudes,' roam in a strange land, in northern Scandinavia. This is the first and classic version well directed by Nils Gaup in 1988, winning several prizes. Violent motion picture about a brutal army of warriors invading Scandinavia.
