Encounters at the End of the World
Encounters at the End of the World is a documentary about Antarctica by Werner Herzog, a great director but unlikely narrator who from the outset insists that he wasn’t out to make another Penguin movie. Instead we are introduced to an odd set of creatures of the human kind who for a variety of reasons make the most desolate place on earth home. Through often stunning cinematography above and especially below the polar ice we also learn a lot about a very mysterious part of the globe.
