Review of Nanook of the North (1922) by Millo T — 02 Jan 2018
For me, this film is contradictory; its intentions are good, as it treats to show how inuits used to live in order to give a message in favour of their classic style of life, with the aim to preserve it from Western civilization.
Also, its historical importance as the first nonfiction movie is relevant. However, I am not sure I agree about modifying real life (at least, without clarifying it) to provide the best image and message to your public.
From the modern point of view, it is also diffcult to watch, being a silent movie and taking under consdieration how much movies have evolved since them. Anyway, as the first docu-drama, it has something to write down in cinema history.
