My Friend the Wolf is this intriguing drama from '99 that's kind of a hidden gem. The film dives into the complex relationship between nature and humanity, with Karin Aich, a biologist, facing a mix of resistance and support as she pushes to reintroduce wolves in Bavaria. The atmosphere is quite immersive, with these beautiful landscapes that contrast sharply with the tension from her antagonistic neighbors and even her own family. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to soak in the themes of isolation and connection. There’s a sweet subplot with a girl and a feral wolfdog that highlights innocence amidst conflict. The practical effects for the wolfdog are pretty convincing, adding to the authenticity. The performances are solid, capturing the emotional weight of the struggle.
