À propos de ce film

CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS, a breathtaking new documentary from the incomparable Werner Herzog (ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD, GRIZZLY MAN) follows an exclusive expedition into the nearly inaccessible Chauvet Cave in France, home to the most ancient visual art known to have been created by man. A hit at this year's Toronto Film Festival, CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS is an unforgettable cinematic experience that provides a unique glimpse of pristine artwork dating back to human hands over 30,000 years ago -- almost twice as old as any previous discovery.

Notes et avis

I find the paintings fascinating and appreciate them as relicts of an ancient culture. I find "expert" interpretation of their significance exaggerated and boorish. Also, filming was done with poor equipment, if they were going to make the effort, a decent camera sure would have been nice. Even so, it was nice to see the modeling of the cave and drawings.

Another in the line of "the edge of the world" theme. Wow ancient times are really just that. Unbiased evidence history is so fascinating! He has found ancient alien n what not stuff around too... listen to him on Coast to Coast am.

Just a warning that if you plan to watch this on a Roku, you might lose your money. I was unable to play this movie, even though I could play other movies from this store. To make matters worse, Google denied my refund request so I appear to have lost my $3.
