  Live the questions...

  by bcm_nyc

  Werner Herzog's film about Antartica and the people there raises lots of 'big questions'. Go, if you love the questions...

  Encounters at the End of the World

  by MerryAndrew

  Encounters at the End of the World is not a great film. Basically, Werner Herzog tries to portray Antarctica and its inhabitants accurately, without "fluffy penguins," but he fails to offer an objective view or a strictly scientific view, and the view he offers isn't very strong; he asks typical philosophical questions, considers the meaning of language and the purpose of life, etc., but then he merely points out that people are lost, and some end up in strange places like Antarctica. Some of the footage was interesting and beautiful, but overall the film will fail to connect with your average moviegoer.
