the most stunning thing about werner herzog’s “cave of forgotten dreams” is the exquisite art. by using uneven cave surfaces, dripping water and the transient light and shadows created by fire, artists endowed their work with life-like texture, movement and vigor. it’s breathtakingly beautiful, refined, haunting. humans had it in them, even 32,000 years ago.
