Nanook of the North (1922)

This pioneering documentary film depicts the lives of the indigenous Inuit people of Canada's northern Quebec region. Although the production contains some fictional elements, it vividly shows how its resourceful subjects survive in such a harsh climate, revealing how they construct their igloo homes and find food by hunting and fishing. The film also captures the beautiful, if unforgiving, frozen landscape of the Great White North, far removed from conventional civilization.

At first, I couldn't believe that documentaries were made this early on in the cinema. Then, I couldn't believe how well-made this was. A very interesting piece indeed.

This is kind of like "Eskimo home movies" of the 1920s. It gave me an intimate view of Inuit culture that I didn't have before.

If not quite a true documentary, a fascinating look at both eskimos and early 20th century filmmaking. The staged scenes are just as intriguing as the real situations. Who knew that watching the building of an igloo could be so entrancing?

A salvage ethnography about the Inuit's struggle for survival in Arctic. The truth was that the main character is not named Nanook, the women and children with him are not his own, and that most of the scenes were staged to show the Inuits' way of life before European influence. To be fair this a lot more authentic than 'documentary footage' made in studios during that time and there were no clearly defined rules for ethical documentary making. Plus it was a huge inspiration for Jean Rouch and pioneered the way for cinema verite. The images of the frigid tundras are very impressive even for today.

Aside from the now-obvious liberties Flaherty took with contriving scenarios and costumes, this flick remains as important a document of lost tribal customs as it is a landmark in cinematic language. Still compelling. Still haunting.
