剧情简介Synopsis

《北方的纳努克》（英语：Nanook of the North）是1922年罗伯·佛莱厄提执导的无声纪录片。此片中主要记载北极圈的原住民-爱斯基摩人的日常生活，例如与白人的毛皮交易、冰天雪地中捕鱼、猎海象等等纳努克家族艰苦奋斗的一天，记录了许多不为外人所知的画面。1989年，《北方的纳努克》因其在“文化、历史和审美方面的显著成就”，成为第一批被美国国会图书馆列入国家电影登记部下属的国家电影保存委员会保护电影名单的25部电影之一。Nanook of the North is a 1922 American silent film that combines elements of documentary and docudrama/docufiction, at a time when the concept of separating films into documentary and drama did not yet exist. In the tradition of what would later be called salvage ethnography, the film follows the struggles of the Inuk man named Nanook and his family in the Canadian Arctic. It is written and directed by Robert J. Flaherty, who also served as cinematographer, editor, and producer. Some have criticized Flaherty for staging several sequences, but the film has been described by Roger Ebert as "stand[ing] alone" among Flaherty's films "in its stark regard for the courage and ingenuity of its heroes." It was the first feature-length documentary to achieve commercial success, proving the financial viability of the genre and inspiring many films to come. In 1989, Nanook of the North was among the first group of 25 films selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
