Review of Grizzly Man (2005) by Anthony K — 04 Jan 2016
He doesn't balk at injecting his own nihilistic leanings into his films (I mean, don't you expect him to?), but nonetheless Werner Herzog is the king of finding fascinating subjects for his documentaries. Grizzly Man seems to run in place at times, but it still captures the portrait of a truly bizarre individual in the late Timothy Treadwell. I haven't seen a character this befuddling and ultimately engrossing in fiction for quite awhile (I suppose the truth is stranger). And his Shakespearean downfall only heightens the drama.
I personally think that Treadwell was crazy, but the doc leaves judgment up to the viewer. Regardless, it is a powerful film. 7.6/10.
