Resumen

The Incomparable Atuk tells the story of a Canadian Inuit who is transplanted to Toronto and who quickly adopts the greed and pretensions of the big city.
A film adaptation was in the works in the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, but never followed through. The movie, which would have been simply called Atuk, has been called cursed as several actors associated with the film died, including John Belushi, Sam Kinison, John Candy and Chris Farley.
