Werner Herzog’s Cave of Forgotten Dreams is now streaming on Netflix Instant.

Man, I loved this movie. His voiceover is like a crazy epic poem.

My favorite part:

“Every night I was dreaming of lions, and every day was the same shock for me. It was an emotional shock. I mean, I am a scientist, but a human too. And after five days I decided not to go back in the cave because I needed time just to relax and take time to absorb it.”

“And you dreamed not of paintings of lions but of real lions?”

“Of both! Of both, definitely.”
