Positively received at its Toronto Festival Premiere, CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS shows the dramatic results of Herzog's exclusive access to the recently discovered Chauvet caves in the South of France, and their truly extraordinary cave paintings, dating back 32,000 years. Herzog's use of 3D really brings these beautiful works of art and the breath-taking cathedral like cave with its towering stalagmites to life. Herzog uses his unique access to this treasure trove of Palaeolithic masterpieces to muse on the immensity and fragility of man's progress. http://www.filmshaft.com/two-clips-from-werner-herzogs-cave-of-forgotten\ -dreams/ http://tinyurl.com/3h6s5u3 The cave is littered with the skeletons and fragments of bears and other animals but curiously no human remains. Herzog being Herzog he interviews a host of eccentric scientists and at the very end finds albino alligators living near a nuclear power plant. Only he would find such things! They'll also be a collective laugh in the cinema when Herzog muses about Baywatch.
