Amazing use of beautiful found footage
Herzog is a masterful filmmaker, and here he exhibits new skills. He takes Timothy Treadwell's raw footage and assembles it into a poetic take on the life of an inspired (somewhat mad) man.
The images captured by Treadwell alone are awe inspiring. He plays with foxes in the wild, and each time a great grizzly bear sniffs his finger it is a truly amazing sight to behold. Herzog chronicles Treadwell's journey of solitude and how he sought to protect the bears from poachers and society at large and how increasingly he was putting himself in grave danger.
A great nature film and study of a man who wished to become one with nature and in doing so was engulfed by it.
