Cave of Forgotten Dreams
9/10
An astounding tour, directed by the esteemed Werner Herzog, of the 30,000-year-old paintings in Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave in Southern France. Absolutely breath-taking, in the true sense of that word. The entire audience sat enraptured by Herzog's long takes of the paintings, the way he brought us into the cave with him and gave us every opportunity to explore and examine without needing to continually cut to talking heads to comment and contextualize like most documentaries do.
A once-in-a-lifetime experience.
