This film is beautiful and brilliant - spellbinding beyond belief, it just seems to get better and better as it goes on. This is a must buy.
Fantastic!
This is a fascinating documentary.
The audience are guided through the awe inspiring Chauvet Caves by Herzog's whimsical narration. The cinematography is stunning and the images from the caves alone are worth the price of the film.
One of the 2011's finest films. Can't recommend it enough.
