I enjoyed studying this in "Visual Anthropology" when I got my edumacation. Like you said, an interesting mix of fiction and documentary. If he had been able to make the film decades earlier he might have had the actual idealized/romanticized primitive life there to capture, but we wouldn't have gotten Nanook Of The North as the end product 😊
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I wonder what that might've looked like if he were there decades earlier, and I wonder what his original cut of the film looked like when it was more straight documentary. It probably wasn't as good as the version we have today, so I'm grateful about that!
