Entertainment Reviews:
These characters are plainly 'playing' themselves, and scenes such as the igloo-building manifest a sage grace and skill.

Time Out
Flaherty's great achievement is not documentary objectivity but something else, a sort of reconstructed rawness that illuminates the human struggles and explorations on both sides of the lenses

Beside this film the usual photoplay, the so-called "dramatic" work of the screen, becomes as thin and blank as the celluloid on which it is printed. And the photoplay cannot avoid the comparison that exposes its lack of substance.

Nanook is one of the most vital and unforgettable human beings ever recorded on film.

Chicago Sun-Times
Nanook enters our consciousness from within the white of the frame. He pushes himself out from inside an igloo he has just built. The film ends in a nighttime so real it's like science fiction.

This remains a remarkable piece of film-making and humanist anthropology.

Product Description:
Flaherty's landmark silent document of Eskimo life examines the daily lives of a small tribe living on the shores of Canada's Hudson Bay region. Focusing on Inuit hunter Nanook and his family, the film presents real, vivid demonstrations of hunting, building shelter and other aspects of surviving in cold, harsh conditions. Very popular upon its initial release in 1922, the film remains educational and enchanting to this day.
