Grizzly Man

German writer and director Werner Herzog examined the strange case of Timothy Treadwell with this fascinating documentary. Treadwell's obsession with wild bears lead him to observe them over the course of thirteen years until he and his girlfriend were killed by one. Herzog through Treadwell's videos and interviews of his close friends and family examine the life of actor who found himself drawn to the nature, specially bears. Herzog as anthropologist always finds the right angle with any topic he touches which shows his greatness as a filmmaker and human being. His personal commentary and connection with the people makes his films personal and profound at the same time. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
