An opening sequence, which first presents itself as a documentary: Into the Great White Open elevates to an Arctic panorama of dancing ice floes set to dramatic fanfares. But appearances are deceptive: is the camera moving or the floating ice? Is the ice melting or the water freezing? And then: are those ice floes or clouds? Positive or negative? William Turner or Caspar David Friedrich?
