Could have been a great movie without the dubbing

I am really disappointed as the movie without audio was extraordinary.

We started watching it on French TV (TV5Monde) and had to stop. The contrast between the life of those young Siberian reindeer-raising tribesmen discussing their affairs, and their words spoken in the French language and accent typical of 21st century French teenagers was unbearable. The contrast was actually destroying the authenticity of the movie. The producers totally spoiled a perfectly good movie with a ridiculous dubbing.

I hope there is a non-dubbed, subtitled version somewhere. I would be very interested.
