Scott S Sep 3 Extremely boring, just watch the emoji movie instead. See more georgan g 07/17/2022 Absolutely fascinating documentary about the oldest found cave paintings. Being a lover of all things about cultural anthropology, this was RIGHT up my alley! See more 07/06/2022 Really dry documentary. Why are all cave drawings of animals. Interesting for 20 minutes and then it gets really hard to watch as there's not enough content to keep the subject going. See more 03/25/2021 Not even the amazing voice/narration of Werner Herzog saved me from making me almost fall sleep and making me feel there was not much to say about the topic that a 20 min museum video could have made in such a better way. See more William L 02/07/2021 Cave of Forgotten Dreams is a tale of two films. One is a neat documentary based around unprecedented access to a notoriously restricted historical site of international significance, one of the earliest surviving records of the dawn of human culture. The other is Werner Herzog droning on and on with whatever pseudointellectual philosophical bullshit he can think up. You can clearly see the man projecting his own ego onto some of the most important artifacts with vague musings that mean nothing ("What constitutes humanness?", and "What will these albino crocodiles in a nuclear power plant think of the cave paintings?"). It completely sours the experience, and I have no problem saying that despite the quality of the visuals and the fascinating subject matter, Herzog himself makes me actually hate the film. (1/5) See more 07/24/2020 It was interesting. A slice of prehistoric history. See more Read all reviews
