*****! BLOWS YOU AWAY WITH ITS BEAUTY.

— Joe Neumaier, The New York Times

A sacred space where the human and the mystical effortlessly intertwine, and we are in Werner Herzog's debt for that great gift.

WHAT A GIFT...AN INSIDE LOOK AT THE ASTONISHING CAVE OF CHAUVET-PONT-d'ARC-AND IN 3-D TOO. IT'S A BLAST TO BE INSIDE THE CAVE.

— Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times

If you're a member of the human race - you owe it to yourself to see this movie.

CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS, a breathtaking new 3D documentary from the incomparable Werner Herzog (ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD, GRIZZLY MAN) follows an exclusive expedition into the nearly inaccessible Chauvet Cave in France, home to the most ancient visual art known to have been created by man. CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS is an unforgettable cinematic experience that provides a unique glimpse of pristine artwork dating back to human hands over 30,000 years ago — almost twice as old as any previous discovery.
