Last VISA: Nanook

Nanook of the North was our last VISA screening at the Elgin. I liked the original score and Inuit throatsingers. Antonio found the movie interesting but didn't like the accompaniment. Rich didn't really care for it. He perked up at a late nite steak dinner. This is considered one of the original documentaries filmed in the last century. Critics say it was staged. Yeah, well so is reality TV. There were a lot of long shots. I mean endlessly long shots. And when you watch Nanook kill and eat all the animals it got kind of depressing. Did I mention the music was nice? Anyway, it wasn't my last film so there is a chance for redemption. MM for the orchestra - thanks for coming out.
