Beautiful 16mm cinematography and period detail recall Italian cinema of the late '60s, but Pietro Marcello’s adaptation of Jack London’s novel, relocated to Naples during some unspecific era (I guess the late ’60s?), is historical fiction without the history and intellectual cinema bereft of substantive ideas.
