Cave of Forgotten Dreams (Picture: ADFF).

Werner Herzog’s foray into documentary film-making has been a fortunate event in the genre. The man has an eye and a passion for stories which with unique events but are symbolically universal. Read below for triplew.me’s review of the film…

When we think of pre-historic times and men, we often imagine a so-called “uncivilized” time and beings. It’s such a distant thought that we are often fascinated and intrigued by anything that we find out about that time.

Werner Herzog’s new journey, takes us to the Chauvet Cave in southern France. The cave; which is preserved and looked after by scientists, archeologists and historians, is not open to public due to its sensitive nature.

So, what’s so special about this cave – you might ask? The cave shows us the first indications of pre-historic artistry. Entire walls of the Chauvet Cave are covered in preserved charcoal drawings of animals, depictions of humans and myths.

Werner Herzog’s use of 3D to execute this film brings every little thing that we see in the cave to life.

A fascinating documentary which shows more than the eye can see.

Catch it at the ADFF or a cinema near you.

Werner Herzog's documentary, using true 3D is an amazing visual journey into a place that time, and we, have forgotten deep below the earth. The use of stunning imagery and film-making techniques make this fascinating and a must watch for documentary buffs keen to explore the underworld in 3D.
