"Meet at the End of the World"

Werner Herzog's original intention of shooting this film feels as unclear as the original intention of human beings to explore Antarctica for the first time. It is not adventure exploration, scientific and environmental protection...

The film brings too many things, not lack of beauty, Interesting people and things, but the whole tone is a slightly boring sense of continuation, even a sense of powerlessness in the last days, maybe this is life, no matter who you are? Where?

Herzog is still obsessively recording at nearly 70 years old.

Encounters at the End of the World quotes

  • Werner Herzog: It occurred to me that in the time that we spent with him in the greenhouse possibly three or four languages have died. In our efforts to preserve endangered species we seem to overlook something equally important. To me, it's a sign of a deeply disturbed civilization, where tree-huggers and whale-huggers in their weirdness are acceptable, while no one embraces the last speakers of a language.

  • Werner Herzog: For me, the best description of hunger is the description of bread. A poet said that once I think. For me, the best description of freedom is what you have in front of you. You're travelling a lot.
