Review of Nanook of the North (1922) by Andrey B — 25 Sep 2018
An early masterpiece in documentary craft, a really moving experience and a harsh one too. It pictures an unforgettable journey with Nanook and his family, and captures all the while all the difficulties and common dangers the Eskimo have to face day into day.
The ending, showcasing "the melancholy of the North", dogs wailing and freezing outside of the igloo, the drifter and snow, is a truly mesmerizing and horrifying picture.
