Grizzly Man

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Werner Herzog has made movies in the past about obsessive people doing crazy things. So it is understandable that he took an interest in Tim Treadwell, who took the crazy risk of living close to grizzly bears in their Alaska wilderness for 13 summers. And finally ended up being eaten by a bear. The man had 100 hours of video he'd taken and it is a truly amazing portrait of a person with obviously deep problems along with a portrait of this northern wilderness and these enormous animals. He found fame in civilization for living with the bears, but that's not why he did it. In some sense, he felt like he was living in an unspoiled paradise when he was alone and close to these dangerous predators. Was he suicidal? He talked a lot about dying for the bears. There are no real answers. Fascinating and compelling.
