Last of the Nomads

1957 · 84 min Drama Documentary
3.2 / 10 · TMDB

This Norwegian documentary was released in other countries as Lapland Calendar. In Disneyesque fashion, the film details the day-to-day existence of the Norwegian Laplanders. The "story" concentrates on the annual odyssey wherein the Lapland reindeer are shepherded to snow-free grazing lands. Not surprisingly, director Per Host is more fascinated with the reindeer than with the human characters -- and, by extension, so is the audience. The film was lensed in economical Eastmancolor, meaning that most existing prints have washed out over the past 40 years.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Last of the Nomads is an acquired taste at 3.2/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1957. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
