To do this, she has to repeatedly drive to the Chernobyl prohibited zone. She is fascinated by the deceptive beauty of the zone, but soon her life appears to be contaminated by a destructive force.

1986 is a complicated film to digest, one that stumbles a bit too much down the stretch. . . . Herzog's film has a lot going for it, but it's easier to admire its individual pieces than to love its collective whole.
