Cave of Forgotten Dreams – 3D
Directed by: Werner Herzog
Cast: Werner Herzog, Dominique Baffier, Wulf Hein
Running Time: 1 hr 30 min
Rating: Unrated
Release Date: May 6, 2011
Plot: Herzog brings a 3D camera into the Chauvet cave to look at the oldest known human paintings. The filmmaker also speaks with archaeologists to ask what these paintings tell us about our ancestors.

When we talk about “Paleolithic art,” we’re usually being generous. Primitive cave paintings are the refrigerator art of mankind: vitally important from an archaeological perspective, aesthetically pretty crap. Werner Herzog’s latest nonfiction film (and his first in 3-D), “Cave of Forgotten Dreams,” rescues early man’s artistic reputation while also taking us on an illuminating journey into the dimly lit origins of human culture.
Chauvet Cave — the subject of Herzog’s documentary — contains within its crystal-encrusted confines a series of extraordinarily well-preserved cave paintings created by humans who lived more thn 30,000 years ago. First discovered in 1994, the site — which is almost twice as old as any previous finds and which also contains a multitude of Ice Age animal remains — had been sealed off by a fallen rock face, turning it into what Herzog has described as a “natural stone ark.
