"Shadow of the Wolf" is an ambitious portrait of Eskimo society in the mid-1930s, when outside influences were first arriving, mostly in the form of guns, liquor and exploitation.
The movie opens with conflict between Agaguk (Lou Diamond Phillips), the young firebrand, and his father Kroomak (Toshiro Mifune), the craggy old leader of an Eskimo tribe. Kroomak is an autocratic dictator, who has decided that he wants to take Igiyook (Jennifer Tilly) as his concubine. No! says Agaguk - Igiyook is mine! Agaguk then gets involved in a confrontation with the evil Brown (Bernard-Pierre Donnadieu), a trader who buys bearskins with booze, and in the struggle Brown is killed. Kroomak, meanwhile, disowns his son, who takes his new bride and goes into exile far away in the forbidding tundra.
