Herzog






In the midst of a routine of a 9am-3am working day, beavering away at various Adobe suite programs and pulling my hair out over UHU glue not sticking pieces of perspex together, this film was a beautiful respite.
Herzog narrates a wonderfully light hearted and funny, yet somewhat poignant (in a really unassuming way) documentary on the everyday life of Antarctica in his film 'Encounters at the End of the World'. Best shots involve a rock show with an audience of less than 5 on the roof of a hut, surrounded by a stunning landscape of white as well as a deranged single penguin, waddling wildly towards the mountains and away from its colony and the sea.

-Watch it.
