It is pretty hard to convince people to watch a silent film. Cinema has evolved a lot over the last 100 years so why would you want to watch something so slow, black & white, and with no dialogue.So to be worth watching in this day and age you really have to have some qualities that can still be appreciated today. This was considered one of the first feature length documentary films, following an Eskimo family through their daily routines. It is amazing to see what these people go through. You really have to use your imagination with the lack of dialogue and grainy black and white, but it is not hard to appreciate the work that went into making this film.
Watching it I couldn't help but wonder what happened to the kids in the movie, do they have grandchildren now? Did the family survive at all? All real questions when you learn that Nanook himself died before this film was released from starvation. If there is a non-slapstick comedy silent film worth watching than this one is it.
