Peary argues that while &#8220;visually the picture is still fascinating&#8221;, the &#8220;human drama seems a little lacking&#8221;; he complains that &#8220;you never really learn what these people are like, just what they do to survive&#8221;. He also notes that &#8220;critics have always complained that Flaherty had his subjects create scenes specifically for the camera&#8221;, with some of them &#8220;com[ing] across as phony&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m much less concerned than Peary about either of these two issues. Watching how a group of humans manage to survive in seemingly unlivable conditions is sufficient &#8220;drama&#8221; for my tastes; and while it&#8217;s true that many of the scenes were commissioned specifically for the film, as Roger Ebert puts it so bluntly in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rogerebert.com\/reviews\/great-movie-nanook-of-the-north-1922#:~:text=%22Nanook%22%20is%20notcinema%20verite.,other%20end%20of%20that%20line.\">&#8220;Great Movies&#8221; review<\/a>, &#8220;If you stage a walrus hunt, it still involves hunting a walrus, and the walrus hasn&#8217;t seen the script.&#8221; What does concern me a bit are two other points: first, that Nanook and his &#8220;family&#8221; aren&#8217;t really a family (apparently Flaherty talked openly about this fact, but it&#8217;s not mentioned at any point during the film itself, which feels deceptive); and second, that the survival techniques used by Nanook were already becoming antiquated at the time Flaherty shot his footage. In both cases, simply providing a written disclaimer at the beginning of the film would have been enough to satisfy my needs. <\/p>\n<p>Regardless, <em>Nanook<\/em>&#8230; remains a movie all film fanatics should see &#8212; not only for its incredible pseudo-ethnographic footage of a bygone era, but for its undeniable (if controversial) place in documentary filmmaking history. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fine pseudo-ethnographic footage of early-20th-century Inuit life<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Toy-Bear.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Toy-Bear.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Toy-Bear.png 512w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Toy-Bear-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Toy-Bear-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Babies.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Babies.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Babies.png 512w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Babies-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Babies-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Many fascinating scenes of Arctic survival and ingenuity<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Igloo.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Igloo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Igloo.png 512w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Igloo-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Igloo-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Fishing.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Fishing.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Fishing.png 512w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Fishing-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Fishing-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Seal-Hole.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Seal-Hole.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Seal-Hole.png 512w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Seal-Hole-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Seal-Hole-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Walrus.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Walrus.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Walrus.png 512w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Walrus-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Nanook-Walrus-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See?
