Guessing what Nanook was cutting out from the ice and discovering that he was going to use the ice to make a window in the igloo has been one of the most profound cinema moments in history for me.. Made me realize how evolved mankind is opposed to other animals/organisms and that already in 1920. Timeless. If I could give 6 stars I would.

This is one of the little films that have made me feel the "real" past. Also you can feel how attached are this people to the nature rhythm. The igloo construction is great too, I agree.

It's movies like this that remind me why I love cinema. Exiting, profoundly entertaining, and way ahead of it's time. I was suprised how my family members (who love the transformers movies) actually took an interest in it. An undeniable classic.

While the fact that large parts of the film were staged is still troubling to the modern concept of the documentary, what really stands out about "Nanook of the North," as Adam Cook, Kurt Walker and myself were earlier discussing, is the abundance of empathy and lack of condescension in Flaherty's direction. Consider how demonized the "Indians" in Hollywood's westerns for the next fifty years would be in comparison.

Just terrific! Is this really the first feature length documentary of cinema? It's just beautiful. I love it.
