Leave your thoughts about Nanook of the North.
| CinePassionFernando F. CroceFlaherty's great achievement is not documentary objectivity but something else, a sort of reconstructed rawness that illuminates the human struggles and explorations on both sides of the lenses |
| OregonianStan HallThat it wasn't exactly accurate does not obscure its importance as a cinematic milestone and a depiction of a vanishing way of life. |
| VarietyVariety StaffDespite the comparatively primitive technique and the natural difficulties of shooting a film in the frozen Hudson Bay wastelands, every minute of Nanook lives up to its reputation. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumFlaherty's classic, influential documentary still fascinates. |
| n+1A.S. HamrahNanook enters our consciousness from within the white of the frame. He pushes himself out from inside an igloo he has just built. The film ends in a nighttime so real it's like science fiction. |
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. Nesbit'Flaherty gives us an intimate peek into Inuit culture, allowing insights into a truly happy people without requiring that we freeze our asses off' |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullNanook's life, mainly concerning the perpetual quest for food as his family teeters on starvation, doesn't offer a lot of variety, but blisteringly real images like this don't come along any more these days. |
| User ReviewSergio SOne of the most incredible historical documents I've ever seen. And it's really fun too!! |
| User ReviewCharles PThis jubilant documentary allows us a friendly glimpse into Eskimo culture, and Nanook ranks among the most dynamic, extraordinary persons documented on celluloid. |
| User ReviewKen SGreat filmmaker Robert J. Flaherty's most famous and acclaimed film. It is one of the most important and influential films of all time, not only in the field of documentary filmmaking. Other than it's importance, "Nanook of the North" has many interesting scenes of eskimo life. |
