Dr. Graham Dorrington is an airship engineer. He hopes to fly his helium-filled invention above the treetops
near the giant Kaieteur Falls in the heart of Guyana. A similar expedition was undertaken twelve years ago but Dorrington’s
friend Dieter Plage fell to his death.
On this trip, Werner Herzog travels with the group to film the adventure
in the rain forest of this little explored part of the world.
Dr. Dorrington has always been an adventurer and he lost part of several
of his fingers on his left hand while holding a rocket as a teen. Werner Herzog puts words in mouths of
people and doesn’t finish filming them when they have said what they wanted to
say. He must need a certain length
to be satisfied with a film and will continue even if he shows the same thing
again. There is a sequence with a
gorilla that you will not forget!! 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
90 min, Doc directed by Werner Herzog with Graham
Dorrington, Dieter Plage, Adrian de Schryver, Annette Scheurich, Marc Anthony
Yhap, Michael Wilk, Anthony Melville.
