Re: The Grizzly Man
this is an awesome awesome movie.

Herzog does a really great job with this in telling a story with footage he didn't shoot. Really top-notch work, and I love his voice doing the narration, saying such esoteric things on top of really hilarious-yet-sad images. full notes HERE

It's really not so much a nature documentary as a portrait of this really interesting guy that manages to draw all sorts of emotions out of you.



Herzog's newest one though, The Wild Blue Yonder, is like the complete opposite of Grizzly Man. Very out there and abstract, using documentary footage to tell a fictional science fiction fantasy story.

based on these two, with the hilarious absurdity of Incident at Loch Ness, I'm really interested to see Herzog's previous two documentary/features: The White Diamond and Wheel of Time
