Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2010)

Cave of Forgotten Dreams (G)

"Caveman of your dreams"

Herzog's 3d documentary about the ancient Cave drawings in France may be your only chance to almost see them in person since the cave is sealed off from the commercial world (and rightly so).  The quality and variety of the drawings is astonishing, the 3D does lend a hand in immersing you into the cave, and director Werner tries with lighting and music and sound to get you to experience them as our ancestors may have: primally.  Mix in a few humans whose own personalities border on the bizarre, and the result is fascinating, mesmerizing and a bit bewildering.
