Good camera works but lots of scene repetition. Those interested in natural history will enjoy this documentary.

I'm so grateful that the French government gave Herzog permission to film at the Chauvet caves since this movie will be the closest I'll ever get to seeing them. The artwork is amazing and Herzog's mythic approach to it makes for a really provocative view. Most of his interviews added to the layers of meaning, even the French parfumier nuzzling the countryside trying to sniff out undiscovered caves, but I could have done without some of the music which I found incredibly irritating and distracting in places. Overall, it's a very satisfying film and will give you lots to ponder about where we come from and what's at the core of being human.

And who doesn't?
