Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2010)
Documentary
Directed and narrated by Werner Herzog
Rated G
1 hour 30 minutes
After seeing some of Werner Herzog‘s other documentaries, I had high hopes for Cave of Forgotten Dreams. It takes the viewer into Chauvet Cave in France, a recently discovered and nearly inaccessible cavern where paintings on the walls have been perfectly preserved for over 30,000 years. It is a fascinating subject, but one that could have easily have been covered in half the time. Go ahead and watch the first half hour and call it a night.
