Restored with native sounds and traditional songs that Flahertys daughter recorded over a half-century after they shot it, Monica Flaherty's Moana with Sound is a beautiful docufiction and important piece of film history." . .

"Moana with sound" . "Flaherty the so-called 'father of documentary' was not a social analyst but the creator of a myth that combined the imaginary and the real - the noble savage and the rhythm of life and nature. He believed in the significance of the real world which would somehow be revealed according to his preconceptions in the process of filming. Above all he was a storyteller. In Moana, Flaherty unsuccessfully sought a Nanook of the South Seas. Set on the Samoan island of Savaii, the episodic narrative centres on Moana, his two brothers, his mother, fiancee and tattooist. Flaherty's fascination with the way people do things and simple ritual informs the film. Flaherty turned back the clock and had the Samoans do things that may never have been or were no longer part of their way of life. He ignored the impact of the modern world and created the myth of the tattoo ritual in a celebration of the exotic."@en .
