	Nanook of the North - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nanook of the North is a silent documentary film by Robert J. Flaherty, released in 1922.
		"Nanook" was in fact named Allakariallak, for instance, while the "wife" shown in the film was not really his wife, but was actually one of Flaherty's eskimo wives.
		The ending, where Nanook and his family are supposedly in peril of dying if they can't find shelter quickly enough, was obviously farce, given the reality of nearby French-Canadian and Inuit settlements during filming, though Allakariallak himself died of exposure two years later after being caught in a snowstorm.

	Stories, Nanook

		Nanook is very cognizant of his position, and has little humility when asking for what he feels he deserves.
		Nanook now enjoys a strong bond with both humans and animals, and has left a beautiful and indelible paw print on all of the individuals who are blessed with his friendship.

	Nanook of the North DVD review
		Nanook of the North was one of their earlier releases on the format and has been available for over six years now, longer than many of us have had DVD players.
		Nanook of the North, Flaherty's first film, was nonetheless something new, a study of an Inuit (or Eskimo) family that engaged us fully with the characters, that was presented with humour and insight, had sequences that were genuinely exciting, and had a clear and structured narrative.
		Perhaps most controversial, one of the most memorable scenes, a semi-comic tug-of-war in which Nanook fights very physically to land a harpooned seal, was completely faked, with the rope Nanook was holding onto being pulled by a group of his friends located just off-camera, an already dead seal used for the sequence finale.

	How I Filmed Nanook of the North
		From Nanook, I first heard of the "Walrus Island" which is a small island far out at sea and inaccessible to the Eskimo during the open water season since it is far out enough so as not to be seen from land.
		Finally Nanook worked the quarry toward the surf where he was pounded by the heavy seas and unable to get a purchase in the water.
		Nanook and his companions' diet was seal and walrus augmented by tea and sugar from my supply and, most important of all, tobacco, that most valued of the white man's treasure.

	OneWorld Magazine: Nanook of the North
		Some of his bias, his admiration for Nanook and his ilk, is clear from the opening.
		Nanook's lined and weathered face will seldom be seen this close again, most notably in the film's last shot of him sleeping in the igloo.
		Despite the wording of his titles and even in the trading post scenes, where Nanook barters for beads and marvels at a gramophone, Flaherty's visual record is remarkably free of "civilized" condescension.

	Kino on Video - Nanook Of The North
		The result is a documentary arresting in its immediacy, full of the stark action of desparate hunts for food, and warmed by the inspiring efforts of a family who must fight together for survival.
		Nanook himself actually died of starvation only two years after shooting was completed, a fact that only strengthens the film's extraordinary impact.
		With Nanook of the North, Robert Flaherty found the natural drama of real life, inspired by the presence of the camera, that documentarians have sought ever since.

	Parasol Records : Labels : A Hidden Agenda Record : Nanook Of the North : The Taby Tapes
		Nanook of the North's The Taby Tapes is a charming pop record, one of the more successful blendings of indie pop melody and electronic texture.
		Nanook handles the bulk of the singing and instrumentation but gets help from the Moog Orchestra's Pea Hix on various keyboards and a cast of female vocalists that would give the Sirens a run for their money in the fetching vocals category.
		Nanook of the North, theoretically, is fronted by Nanook himself, an Eskimo who traveled from Alaska to Täby, a suburb of Stockholm.

	Amazon.co.uk: Nanook Of The North [1922]: Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The result of his rigorous study was groundbreaking; with Nanook of the North, Flaherty pioneered both a new cinematic genre, the narrative documentary, and created a timeless drama of human perseverance under the harshest of conditions.
		Flaherty obviously understood the charisma of one Eskimo in particular, Nanook, and much of the film's warmth, humour, and charm come from the mutual respect and sympathy between the filmmaker and his subject.
		The skill which Nanook applies in sledging over drifted piles of snow, building an igloo or spearing fish through a hole in the ice is in no way comparable to the skill of an actor, stuntman or special effects artist.

	Nanook of the North Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Arctic hunter is not a career many would choose, but Nanook and his family go about their days with a serene acceptance of their lot in life, and Flaherty's camera records some remarkable moments.
		A segment where Nanook catches a seal through a small hole in the ice where the animal comes up for air is simply riveting, and reflects the fortitude and creativity of Eskimo culture.
		First and foremost is that the family members in the film were not actually related to each other; they were chosen for their camera-pleasing visages.

	Dramatisation in Nanook of the North (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Flaherty creates the character of Nanook by the selection of shots showing Nanook at play and at work and with his family: he is seen hunting, fooling with the gramaphone and teaching his child to use a bow and arrow.
		Textual enigmas in Nanook of the North create and then resolve mysteries, arousing then satisfying curiosity in a way analogous to the shot/reverse shot that is a staple of classical Hollywood cinema.
		It is not until several shots later that the audience discovers the purpose of Nanooks's activity and the 'mystery' of the function of the block of ice is revealed - it is a window for the igloo.

		It helped that Nanook was such a pleasant guide, someone the camera took an instant liking to, especially in the film's most hilarious scene wherein the good-natured leathery faced Nanook heartily laughs as he listens in amazement to sounds coming out of a record player.
		Ironically, Nanook starved to death while on a deer hunt shortly after the film's release in 1924, a victim of the forces of nature that he had so masterfully conquered on film.
		Nanook of the North was an original selection to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1989.

		While Nanook of the North, Moana and Man of Aran reinvented past cultures to construct exotic documents of humanity, The Land was a representation of agricultural problems and their effect on people in contemporary 1940s America.

		Robert J. Flaherty's `Nanook Of The North' may be the first film about man's relationship with nature.
		Here, he uses long shots: Nanook and his family become tiny fl specks barely visible in the large, white frame.
		At the same time, the hunting and feast sequences establish Nanook as a smart, tough survivor, a surprising victor over nature's harsh elements.
