Theater of Thought

We may not understand the brain any more after seeing it, but we’re definitely tuned into the mystery.

While fits and spurts of “Theater” seem illuminating, that same confusion about these big scientific and metaphysical questions also keep the doc from feeling all that fulfilling.

It’s as if by being confronted by new innovations that appear to have come straight out of a sci-fi film, Werner Herzog exercises his galaxy brain to see what we could be capable of a decade, even a century, from now.

Again, as all of his films, is an invigorating, fascinating and thoughtful inquiry into our existence. I really hope Herzog keeps making these until the end.
