Following 'Grizzly man', this is the 2nd documentary directed by Werner Herzorg that I have the pleasure to watch and, once again, I was really impressed. Herzorg has a very peculiar style since his narration is omnipresent and it is an acquired taste. He didn't annoy me but I can imagine that it can be bothering. Furthermore, there are some really awesome shots here and only for that, it is worth... read more

Werner Herzog takes us on an expedition to the barrens of a frozen Antarctica. Here, the inhabitants seem to be sort of lost but found. They have spent their years traveling the globe and they all happened to end up in—or were strangely attracted to—the same place: McMurdo. The people Herzog interviewed all seem to have positive outlooks and very interesting perspectives on life and living, an... read more

"05.03. Blu-ray, 1st viewing DIRECTED BY Werner Herzog A lovely documentary on Antarctica. Herzog covers a lot of interesting peculiarities of the continent and the research performed there: from deranged penguins to seal sounds and underwater photography. Herzog makes it hilarious as he occasionally addresses his interviewees with strange questions and narrates in his trademark cynical style. The mini-rants about yoga classes and pogo stick jumpers on the Antarctic were really funny. The mome"

"Filmmaker Werner Herzog travels to Antarctica to capture its landscape's rarely seen beauty on film. I couldn't help but feel that this documentary dragged on a little - however, I did appreciate the scenic shots, scientific effort shown, seal song & bizarre little penguin!"

Unforgettable, or The Tropes of my Mind's Eye (15 movies items)

"It is comforting to know that even in this world that we know so well, there is still so much we don't know and so much to be in awe of. Herzog reminds us of the connection we have to all of it--and whether it matters or not that we are a way for the cosmos to know itself, there is great power in that idea and perhaps enough to save humanity and our Earth. Most Memorable Scene: The long tunnel that leads to the precise coordinates of the south pole, and the frozen sturgeon that lies there, ensh"
