If you loved Cave of Forgotten Dreams, try Into the Abyss

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Werner Herzog, and they sit in Documentary territory. If that's the register that drew you to Cave of Forgotten Dreams, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Into the Abyss is

You sit across from men who’ve fixed their execution dates. The camera records their voices, calm or unraveling, as they retell murders and second chances. Yet even their last words can’t outrun the law. Herzog watches the silence between questions, letting the weight outlast the frame.
