The title of this film is a misnomer; there is nothing fast-moving in this film, but that is one of its greatest strengths. Not only bereft of speed of any type; it is also bereft of any modern accoutrements. There are no cars, phones, houses, computers, Walmarts, 7-11s, or anything else you take for granted every day. This is a story about a people who live practically the same as their ancestors did 10,000 years. I half-expected Raquel Welsh to appear in a fur. The longer you watch this film, the more you will realize it is a masterpiece of filmmaking. Several of the scenes are breathtaking. Don't miis it.
