Review of Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2010) by Paul J — 21 May 2011
The finest documentary I've ever seen. Herzog has moved me to tears yet again. The profound spirituality and level of depth is staggering. It also happens to be the best use of 3-D that I've ever seen.
Only Avatar and Beowolf had such fantastic effects. This is the art-house version of that. However, Herzog's film doesn't rely on any gimmicks, instead we get enormous emotional weight and ancient history.
It's as if Herzog felt the need to literally place us three dimensionally in this environment. The score is easily among the best in recent years. This film documents the birth of art and somehow unites all artists throughout time.
40,000 years in the making.
