Wow... Helt i klass med Grizzly Man.
Werner Herzog lyckas gång på gång med sina dokumentärer.
4,5 och ett hjärta. Ett måste.

I mean that scene of Dorrington describing what happened to Dieter is one of the most captivating scenes I’ve ever watched, no actor could pull that off

I think Marc Anthony might be my favorite person in the Herzog doc universe. That scene showing the waterfall through the prism of the dew drop is just wonderful, and no one could've scripted his response to Werner's question any better.
