Review of Encounters at the End of the World (2007) by Pat G — 21 Mar 2009
I would have not been disappointed if this won best documentary this year. Werner Herzog has his own style of film making. Not afraid to interact with people when needed, or coax out of them what he needs. Well shot which would be easy in such an unique area, but musically maybe even better. Herzog picks choices that add to remote and wondrous areas he is filming. The natural sounds of the seals reminds us how alien our own world can be.
He was determined not to do a penguin movie, and only gave in once. That too was a moving scene of nature at work.
