Werner Herzog made an amazing documentary about a forgotten landscape. That’s actually something that he’s best at so my first sentence should come as a surprise to no one. What is always a surprise is the setting that he chooses. This time it’s the Siberian taiga, where you can walk for days without meeting a single person. You only meet moose, reindeer, bears, wolves and the odd hunterwho had been sent there by the communist regime and who have lived there since. It’s an incredible way of life that today’s humans can hardly imagine. I mean imagine living somewhere in the middle of the wilderness with your dog and spend your day hunting for squirrel. That’s one of the reasons this has been getting such high ratings. But I can’t give the movie a full five-star rating because I cannot agree with some of the hunter’s ideas. I get it that he needs to justify his life somehow, but don’t let him tell me that the traps that he sets for wild animals are fully humane, when the animals have to freeze to death for half a day. Despite that it’s an interesting documentary full of hard understanding for such life and the beautiful nature that is still pretty much unaffected by human activity.
