Review of Eskimo (1933) by Jeff B — 09 Aug 2009
Impressive film directed by WS Van Dyke about, well, Eskimos. The film stars real Eskimos and is pretty much all subtitled while they speak their language. It's cool watching them hunt and fish and stuff, because it's most likely them doing all of that stuff themselves, including hunting seals and whales.
This also was the first film to win Best Editing and it is actually very well done. The actual story is pretty predictable (it reminded me a film that was made a couple years before it, White Shadows of the South Seas), but that doesn't really matter.
