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.
“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.”

Surrealist filmmaker Wener Herzog on the source of his visionary projects.
Rather, Herzog on why he makes films. I’ve decided to co-opt his motivation as my reason for making software. I’m burdened with dreams, and I don’t want to be a cow in the field.

Werner Herzog’s Cave of Forgotten Dreams finally gets a trailer.
Visiting the Cave of Altamira made me think about what it is to be a human in ways that nothing else ever has. Herzog’s movies have a similar effect on me. I’m hoping that this trailer indicates that I might have a chance to see it.
