    Herzog's style is always the same, but this time, with such a good subject, I made a little bit of it, and I asked some questions, just keep asking. I wish I could see it in...

    In the middle of the broken English, there was a little doze for a while. I like the way they shoot the cave and the protection of the cave. Feeling in awe of nature and ancestors. Compared to those caves in China with weird green lights. That kind of darkness and simplicity is really...

    20110411 @ The Grand Cinema : [HKIFF Chapter 9] The murals on the cave show the wisdom of the predecessors, and the 3D makes people feel like they are in the cave, which is very beautiful. Herzog does not appear in many scenes, but his narration occasionally has a sense of humor.

    I don't really want to attack Herzog, my uncle's one-minute Empire beat this long-winded documentary, although the starting point is different. Of course, I don't know if the 3D look and feel will be...

    Watching the 68-year-old Herzog lean over the low cave, you have to admire his consistent tenacity over the years. For a limited time, the lighting in the cave and the chorus of dissonant chords enhance the "exotic" atmosphere inside the cave, but there is still a clear distance from my ideal expression of mystery....

Cave of Forgotten Dreams quotes

  • Werner Herzog: The artist painted this bison with eight legs, suggesting movement - almost a form of proto-cinema.

  • Nicholas Conard: I think what's extremely important is that we realize that archeology today is not a heroic adventure with spades and picks, but high tech scientific work that's done with incredible detail.
