Content:
Einer der bedeutendsten Dokumentarfilme der Stummfilmära. Flaherty verbrachte mehrere Monate in der Arktis, um den Eskimo Nanuk und seine Familie bei den alltäglichen Verrichtungen (Jagd, Fischfang, Iglubau, Fellhandel, Pflege der Kinder, Betreuung der Schlittenhunde) mit der Kamera zu beobachten. Der Film zeigt die Härte dieses Lebens, die Schönheit der Eislandschaft und die naive Fröhlichkeit der Menschen. Nachdem lange Zeit nur eine verstümmelte Fassung im Umlauf war, wurde der Film in den 80er Jahren in den USA sorgfältig rekonstruiert. (Lexikon des internationalen Films)
Content:
Robert Flaherty made this wonderful film of Eskimo (Inuit) life following six years as an Arctic explorer for the Canadian Northern Railway. During journeys often lasting months at a time with only one or two Inuit as companions, he developed a deep regard for these indigenous people and after two unsuccessful filming attempts, Flaherty seized upon the idea of structuring his movie around characters who reenacted episodes of their lives and participated in the shaping of the film. He was not trained as an anthropologist, but Flaherty wisely guides our discovery of the people and their activities, and ninety years later, Nanook remains as completely engaging as it was in 1922, a huge influence on many ethnographic films that followed. This edition is mastered in high definition at the visually correct speed from the painstaking 35mm restoration of 1972, with a lovely orchestral score composed, compiled and conducted by Timothy Brock. Selected for the National Film Registry, 1989. This Blu-Ray also contains six extraordinary bonus films: - Nanook Revisited (Saumialuk) by Claude Massot (66 min.). Made in the same locations used by Flaherty, shows how Inuit life changed in the intervening decades (it's not that different from ours), how Flaherty consciously depicted a culture which was then already vanishing, and how Nanook is used today to teach the Inuit their heritage. Nanook Revisited was produced in 1988 on standard definition video for French television. - Houses of the Arctic (1928) is the igloo-building sequence of Nanook re-edited and re-titled as an educational film (11 min.) - Arctic Hunt (1913) and extended excerpts from Primitive Love (1927) are by Arctic explorer Frank E. Kleinschmidt (16 min./ 33 min.). - Eskimo Hunters of Northwest Alaska (1949, 21 min.) by Louis deRochemont (Prod.) and Kay Norton (Regie) shows many activities seen in Nanook thirty years after. - Face of the High Arctic (NFB 1959, 13 min.) by Dalton Muir depicts the ecology of the region (Queen Elizabeth Islands). Finally, a 32-page booklet contains extended excerpts from My Eskimo Friends by Robert Flaherty on his time spent making the film and an new essay on The Wedding of Palo by Lawrence Millman.(Flicker Alley)
