Lynx Man

A Finnish equivalent of Werner Herzog’s Grizzly Man, Hannu has a love and connection to nature that surpasses most. It is the rare lynx, that has bitten into Hannu’s heart – so much so that he actually claims to be able to speak its language. Lynx Man paints a vividly colourful twilight picture of the natural world around us – and of man’s impact on it. For no matter what Hannu does to live in harmony with the animals, he is belonging to the species that is the lynx’s worst enemy. Here, the vast forests come alive in Hannu’s hypnotic night vision footage of the nocturnal life of the lynx.
