Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2010)


An interesting documentary on a fascinating topic. The music background and more artistic (less scientific) presentation of this subject is not to my taste. Full disclosure, I am not a Werner Herzog fan. It took me about 3 viewings to complete the movie. While I did like this documentary, it was more in spite of its presentation than because of the presentation. One thing I did not realize was the proximity to these caves of France's largest nuclear power plant and the "seeding" of the crocodiles. While the albino versions of these creatures was exotic and almost shocking, it did distract from the primary subject. Perhaps what I wanted was the Nat-Geo version of this film not the film festival version.
