Review of Encounters at the End of the World (2007) by Anonymous User — 20 Dec 2008
With the help of some very fascinating people, Werner Herzog explores an Antarctica that is large, desolate and pure, a place so vast that the human mind cannot possibly comprehend its scope and numerous mysteries.
It's surely beautiful, but it's an unsettling, enigmatic kind of beauty that you have never seen in any documentary you have ever seen. Dolphins call upon each other like field recordings from the cosmos, large toxic snow chimneys protrude atop sheets of white ice, lone penguins veer off into the mountains to their inevitable death.
It's utterly unique, it's absolutely gorgeous, and considering some of its apocalyptic undertones, it's realistic. And it's human.
