Review of Grizzly Man (2005) by Jimg — 29 Dec 2005
Wonderfully shot picture of how some people save themselves with obsession. Rather than substance abuse, they lock onto a thought or cause (think, "I never want what happened to my [wife, son, whomever] to happen to someone else").
The thought provoked--do the great things obsessed people achieve outweigh the consequences? Fascinating. Sure, there are opportunities for petty complaints -- might be a bit overlong, Herzog's omnipotence is a little too omnipresent, while simply photographing the choices obviously tell the story Herzog's way (for example, seems he ridicules the parents a little bit by focusing on innocent household kitsch).
But solid winner here.
