About this product
Product Information
Flaherty's landmark silent document of Eskimo life examines the daily lives of a small tribe living on the shores of Canada's Hudson Bay region. Focusing on Inuit hunter Nanook and his family, the film presents real, vivid demonstrations of hunting, building shelter and other aspects of surviving in cold, harsh conditions. Very popular upon its initial release in 1922, the film remains educational and enchanting to this day.Product Identifiers

Nanook
Even though this film is self defined as docu-fiction by the filmmaker it offers a very honest and human treatment of the harsh life conditions of the Hudson Bay Inuit. The staging of scenes doesn't take away from the films impact and it's hard to be critical of this method in today's over-saturation of staged and over produced "reality" TV. Really quite extraordinary considering director Flaherty did it all by himself. More extra features would have been nice but this is still a nice addition to my growing list of Criterion titles.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A classic documentary
This film is a remarkable documentary from the 1920s about a First Nations Canadian man. It's widely known that the filmmaker manipulated the story and shots in many cases, but it's still well worth watching, both for the authentic aspects and for the example of early filmmaking. The footage is beautiful and the soundtrack that accompanies the silent film is captivating. The DVD arrived in excellent condition, exactly as described, and was sold at a reasonable price. It was a pleasure to get a copy of this rare film!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A classic Inuit documentary
An informative documentary about traditional Inuit life. The producer ultimately did not do right by the native Eskimo "actors," but this is a valuable, rare look at life as it is no more.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
