- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Herzog is a stranger in a strange land (...) his perverse curiosity and zest for the harshest extremes of nature transform what might have been a standard TV special into an idiosyncratic expression of wonder."
-
"Does Antarctica attract dreamers or create them? It's a thread that runs throughout the film."
-
"Takes you places an ordinary documentary filmmaker might’ve gone to yet missed completely."
-
"The images captured by Herzog and cinematographer Peter Zeitlinger are dazzling all on their own, finding the disorienting psychedelia that is nature at its weirdest."
-
"All this is as fascinating as it is humbling, even when Herzog ventures a little too far down eccentricity's back alley."
