Synopsis
The great British actor Bob Hoskins (WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT, MERMAIDS) stars in acclaimed director Tomasz Wiszniewski's stirring drama. The story of a man named Sharkey, who sells babies on the black market and his odd yet touching friendship with a young boy named Vlado, whose life has been destroyed by war, WHERE ESKIMOS LIVE serves as gripping commentary on war's effect on humanity.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rough Diamond, 26 Jan 2006
By The Kinniburgh Kid (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This is a flawed, but very memorable movie worth 90 minutes of anybody's time.

It covers big topics - war, racial conflict, child abduction - but most important of all it is about hope and the salvation of one human being by another.

Special mention must be made of the child actor in the co-star role. He is one of the best I've ever seen. His Polish nationality means it is unlikely we'll get to see him in many more films so all the more reason to enjoy this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars a man a boy and a war, 21 Nov 2006
By Herakles (Greece) - See all my reviews
There have been very few films covering the "war" in Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia. Perhaps it's as well as Mankind stooped to new lows here.

This wonderful film covers one moment in the fighting in Bosnia. The story of a man who goes searching for a boy in the war torn country with a view to spiriting him out of the country. For money.

The two man actors are very good indeed. The boy plays a most convincing role, one I would not expect capable of for a boy of his tender years.

It is a chilling story especially as the true point of it all comes out toward the end.

The direction and sets are of a high standard too. A great film indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Chilling Reminder ....., 3 Aug 2004
The story is a very chilling reminder of the lengths that some people will go to to save their loved ones. Chilling because it is all to real.

Of course you don't quite realise the 'plot' until the end, but as the film unfolds you get that uneasy feeling about the storyline.

For me, the film seemed almost too real a reminder of the war in Bosnia. Emotions ran pretty high throughout the film, always willing and wanting the lead character [Bob Hoskins] to reveal some form of liking for the boy.

This certainly is a film to be watched time and time again. You do though have to almost forget the rest of the story and concentrate on the two main characters and the roles they play.
