Cave of Forgotten Dreams

documentary w/d Werner Herzog

Great film. A trip through a cave in southern France discovered in 1994 where the oldest human paintings were found on the walls. You couldn't help but be awed by the stretch of time that separated us from the men who did this work. The quality of the artwork was high...mostly animals, but some other images too.

As usual, the music chosen by WH was excellent, his narration was quirky and pseudo-profound, the camera work top notch. One of his most successful docs.
