...psychiatrist's report portrays Yoder as a heartsick young man who "desperately wanted to re-establish his relationship" at the time of the crime. The report says Yoder had been guzzling Canadian Club and tripping on two hits of acid when he went to Herring's house with the knife. The psychiatrist noted that after his arrest, Yoder was sexually assaulted in jail and twice tried to commit suicide--once by drinking Clorox.

Atanarjuat--The Fast Runner has won festival prizes and critics' raves, and not only because it's the first fiction feature made about the Canadian Inuit by an Inuit director, Zacharias Kunuk, and writer, the late Paul Apak Angilirq. If that were the film's only distinction, it might get shown in natural-history museums.
