Herzog’s longing for the ideological purity in which these lives are lived, free of paperwork and bureaucracy, taxes and technology, drives the film, which lacks an overall story arc. And that longing makes the title’s veracity a little suspect.

Although I rarely fault documentaries for their visual style (after all, it's all about story here), I have to say that I was expecting something grander from Werner Herzog, cinematically-speaking. This looks like it was filmed on a single handycam. Other than that, the documentary did what it was supposed to do: fascinated me and kept me enthralled throughout. Great job!

The pleasure of Happy People comes from watching these men go about their work, while they explain that the only way to make it in the taiga is to do and take exactly what's needed, and not get greedy.

A more accurate title would be "Taiga Trappers". Most of the flick is about some guys that go out with their dogs to catch fish and fur for months at a time. Boring, peaceful meditation movie.

Unlike Werner Herzog's vintage efforts, Happy People plays like an everyday Discovery channel special.
