DVD Reviews of Alaska 2 DVD and Book Package
DVD Review: This is the package to get!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're shopping for this, you've probably seen the PBS documentary about Dick Proenneke's cabin. Alone in the Wilderness is that documentary. Five Stars for sure.
Silence and Solitude is a second DVD by Bob Swerer, who edited Alone in the Wilderness. It documents a three-week trip into the Alaskan bush to film wildlife and includes two scenes with Proenneke shot in modern times, as well as a montage of recycled cabin-building footage from Alone in the Wilderness. The new footage is nice because it adds a little more context to Proenneke's cabin and personality, and you get to hear his voice. (Bob Swerer did the voiceover of Proenneke's journals for Alone in the Wilderness.) Basically, Silence and Solitude should be a supplementary bonus item on the Alone in the Wilderness DVD. If you're hoping for another documentary about Proenneke, you'll be disappointed, but if you're crazy about Alaska, and if you think you're hungry for every piece of Proenneke that you can get, you'll want to own it. Three Stars.
And if that's you, you'll probably want the book, too. I haven't had time to crack it, but it's a nice item for my shelf, has a nice cover, and the photos are fantastic.
I recommend buying this package and watching Alone in the Wilderness right away. Wait a week, and then come back for Silence and Solitude with minimal expectations, and you won't be disappointed.
