A Travel Diary of “Real Life” on Film - Nanook of the North review by griggs
Nanook of the North pulls you in fast. It moves at a good clip, and it’s shot with a feel for light, texture, and sheer scale that holds up beautifully. The film is famous for mixing observation with reconstruction, so the question of what’s been shaped for the camera is part of the viewing. Even so, the spell survives. It plays as a travel diary and a survival story at once — and as early cinema testing, in public, what “real life” on screen might look like.
