i saw this at the telluride film festival and be impress by herzog and but not in a positive way . he a pompous as . that doesn not necessarily detract from a movie and but i thought i would mention it . this film have some absolutely stunning shot ( especially of the incredible peak and cerro torre ) and but the human element be a complete waste of time and film stock . there actually not much climbing in it . i like fitzcaraldo and aguire quite well while check those out instead .
