Review of Encounters at the End of the World (2007) by J K — 21 Nov 2009
How amazing is Werner Herzog? Really! I didn't catch that when I should have a couple of years ago, but I was lucky to see this on the silver screen where it belongs- at a screening in TIFF (Thessaloniki International Film Festival) where this year Herzog was invited and a retrospective of his work was presented to the Greek audience.
If you expect to watch a film about Antarctica and how amazing this place is, you won't be disappointed. Yet, the focus is much more on the scientific community that lives and thrives down at the South Pole.
But "Encounters" is so much more than that. It's a live commentary on our civilization, by crazy, wonderful, rare people of science, with brilliant and exceptional takes on philosophy.The film lifts you up- it lifts your spirit and gives you a perspective. It's also very, very funny. You have to watch this film, by all means!
