Grizzly Man
Canada 2005, 104 minutes
Dir. Werner Herzog
Genres: Documentary / Adventure
Topics: Animal Antics.
Aroview: One of dir. Herzog's (AGUIRRE) true classics, this is a devastating glimpse into the life of a self-styled naturalist, whose obsession with Alaskan grizzly bears was strangely profound yet which ultimately proved fatal to him and his girlfriend.
Timothy Treadwell was an ex-surfer and failed actor who spent 13 years in the wilderness coming to terms with the bears and for several years filmed them on video in their habitat, also giving improvised pieces-to-camera in which he eerily resembles a 'Nature Channel' commentator. From this 'found footage' and various interviews Herzog constructs a portrait of Treadwell as visionary yet deluded, critiquing the doomed quest with a sceptical, fascinated respect.

5 stars (Exceptional) A mesmerising, devastating and tragic portrait of a man who's immense passion is so misguided that he harms rather than protects the animals he loves. ~Wizzums
4 stars (Very Good) ~Leighton
5 stars (Exceptional) Intense almost autistic in delivery kinorama of bears, beaches and blondes. A meaty delight with one of Maestro Herzog's best narration ever. ~Dr_'n'
3 stars (Good Enough) We could have done with less of Grizzly Man but the wildlife photography was pretty good. ~Tubbs
