A documentary on the Chauvet cave paintings.
Sinekatalog’s take
Werner Herzog's 3D documentary explores the Chauvet cave paintings with wonder. Hushed and contemplative, with Herzog's odd musings, it gives rare access to some of humanity's earliest art.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
