Review of Encounters at the End of the World (2007) by Sabina Z — 24 Dec 2008
Movies like this remind me of the beauty of the documentary and its status as a dying art form. Antarctica is an area oft explored but remains perpetually clothed in mystery. I loved hearing about the each of the "professional dreamers" and how poetic and simple and scientific they all were.
What one of the guys said about falling to the bottom of the earth and joining together because they were all loose strands was so, so beautiful and so, so true. Sometimes all you need is a little piece of reality to realize how extraordinary real PEOPLE are.
Auteur filmmakers like Herzog really need to make more documentaries because they are the masters of the medium.
