The White Diamond
Posted by martinteller on January 11, 2006
Herzog’s documentary is ostensibly about airship designer Graham Dorrington’s latest venture, but goes in so many directions that it really follows no particular theme or topic. It drifts from subject to subject, most of them interesting tangents, picking up plenty of Herzog’s typical spellbinding shots along the way — culminating in the magnificent vision of thousands upon thousands of swifts divebombing into a cave behind a massive waterfall. A bit aimless, but ultimately satisfying. Rating: 8
