Peter Ustinov narrates the tumultuous life adventures of an adorable river otter named Tarka. It seems the grim reaper follows Tarka wherever he goes; we watch his father die in the first ten minutes of the film, followed by his mother, then see several of his brethren as hanging corpses ready to be skinned. How much do you wanna bet Tarka dies, too? Oh, and did I mention that this is billed as a family film? Yeah, if you're in the Manson Family.
Still, it's recommended for fans of otters (another must have? Ring of Bright Water - also too sad). |
