Grizzly Man - Dir. Werner Herzog (Timothy Treadwell)
Thursday, June 8th, 2006Shy of the melodramatically annoying narration of director Herzog, Grizzly Man is one of those perfect documentaries. The story is just one of those with a distinct beginning, middle and end. Grizzly Man was so thoroughly documented by its protagonist, over almost decade, that at times it almost seems like it might have been a fiendish collaboration between filmmaker and subject. Obviously this wasn’t the case, but what Herzog is able to piece together is the gradual unraveling of a man losing his perspective: a perversely compelling watch.
