Cave of Forgotten Dreams
In case you missed the epic epicness that is Werner Herzog’s 3D documentary when it was playing at the Lightbox, here’s your chance to bask in the majestic 30,000-year-old cave drawings. Though seemingly a silly idea (cave drawings are, after all, two dimensional) the film utilizes 3D to deepen the frame, exaggerating the sense of space in the Chauvet caves. Visual pleasure aside, Herzog’s musings take the film beyond Planet Earth nature porn. Known for his philosophical witticisms, here Herzog takes these to the next level, indulging his curiosity and epistemological questions alike. It’s philosophy in 3D.
