What Tarka the Otter Is About
The film tells the life of an otter from birth to adulthood. It is set in the English countryside of the nineteen twenties, when otter hunting was still legal. Tarka grows up in the river, learns to hunt and escapes danger by a hair. He also has to deal with a man who wants to keep him as a pet. The account does not make a person of the animal; it follows him inside his own life. That it tells of a period when the hunt was lawful gives the film a distance of its own. The rivers and banks of the Devon countryside are where the story takes place. Peter Ustinov narrates. David Cobham’s eighty seven minute British film was completed in 1979.
