Review of Encounters at the End of the World (2007) by Sarah B — 29 Apr 2009
The movie was filmed in Antarctica and it discusses, among.
Many other things, the effect of climate change on the icy continent.
It's well worth seeing. I should note, the film is not a discussion.
Of the hard science on climate change or anything as simple or.
Didactic as an "Inconventient Truth." Rather it represents another.
Example of Herzog's documentarian "ecstatic truth," this time.
Incorporating stunning scenery of Antartica, discussions with.
Scientists and the continents other inhabitants, and some breathtaking.
Footage of dives under the ice, aquatic life, forays into volcanic ice.
Caves (yes, you heard that right), and rather startling and other-worldly recordings of seals "talking" underwater. An image I don't.
Think I'll ever erase from my mind is that of three scientists, bent.
Over the ice, listening to the seals. (Typical of Herzog's.
Documentaries, it seems to repeat a scene from another of his.
Films, "Bells from the Deep," and so was probably staged). This is.
Illuminating and hypnotic movie-making and, should you have any interest in what.
Has been happening to Antarctica over the past 20 years, well worth.
Seeing.
