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

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 both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Documentary territory. If that's the register that drew you to Into the Abyss, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Cave of Forgotten Dreams is

Werner Herzog enters a pristine Stone Age gallery to find prehistoric art untouched for millennia. A 3D camera roams the Chauvet caves, turning charcoal rhinos into ghostly neighbors. The filmmaker’s dry awe outshines the cave’s temperature-controlled hush.
