It's unrelenting slow pace carries us to witness the unfortunate death of several characters making this an incredibly striking film that has stayed with me.

I watched this doc by director Elijah Drenner last night. Always having a limited knowledge of the "Grindhouse" era, I thought it just was during the late 60's to late 70's, a phenomenon where schlocky exploitation movies were churned out to the drive-in and 24 hr movie theater house crowds.

Probably still my favorite adaptation from Richard Matheson's book I AM LEGEND. Matheson didn't think Price worked as Dr. Morgan, but his lumbering thin stature I thought lent itself very nicely, giving Price a virtual undead quality himself. The low angle shots of his celestial figure standing over the pit of burning bodies delivers an iconic image that has transgressed into other films.

There is no doubt in my mind that Werner Herzog is the consummate filmmaker. Being a geeked out fan of his for years I have not loved everything he has made but am never disappointed when you follow along in his journeys.
CAVE of FORGOTTEN DREAMS fits into this category. I missed seeing it in the theater in 3D. For me it's so far the best way to use the technology that isn't synthetically Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
