How fortuitous of you to make this post - I was just reading about one of my favourite films and was sighing, "Darn, it's not a book! I can't review it in 50books_poc."
Atanarjuat (The Fast Runner)
Evil in the form of a mysterious, unknown shaman enters a small community of nomadic Inuit and upsets its balance and spirit of cooperation. The stranger leaves behind a lingering curse of bitterness and discord: after the camp leader Kumaglak is murdered, the new leader Sauri drives his old rival Tulimaq down through mistreatment and ridicule.
Years pass.
