Storyline

Documents one year in the life of Nanook, an Eskimo (Inuit), and his family. Describes the trading, hunting, fishing and migrations of a group barely touched by industrial technology. Nanook of the North was widely shown and praised as the first full-length, anthropological documentary in cinematographic history.—



Short Review

To me there is vastly more thrill in the lonely Nanook... than in the whole kit and boiling of most so-called "great moments" in the cinema drama.
