Review of Grizzly Man (2005) by O.c.h — 13 Sep 2008
Werner Herzog's "Grizzly Man" is a comedy for the ages. His brilliant writting, witty portrial of an insane maniac and hilariously bad interviews all add up to a very memorable experience.
Wait, what? This isn't a comedy? Sure fooled me. Grizzly Man truly did have me up in stitches, and it wasn't until I realized that it was trying so desprretly hard to make a morale point that I decided this was one of my least favorite films of all time.
To be honest, I was laughing at how bad the film was - so I had already pegged Grizzly Man as an awful film. Maybe I shouldn't put this all on Herzog. After all, Timmothy is a truly bizzare person that just comes off weird and no amount of directorial talent can save that- but then I remember that Herzog picked him, not the other way around.
Frankly, you've really, really, really got to read between the lines to get any sort of social commentary out of the movie. In all senses, Grizzly Man fails at what it sets out to do.
