Another classic and fully immersive documentary from Werner Herzog, just as involving as the previous two he made with Clive Oppenheimer (INTO THE INFERNO and ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD). This one's all about meteorites, and it's a globetrotting adventure that aims to explore the people and mysteries surrounding their origins and arrival on our planet. As usual, Herzog mixes a vast and complex matter with small intimacies, and seems to draw out welcome eccentricities from his human participants. The photography is bravura and Herzog's narration as spot on as ever. Like with most of his documentaries, this one's hard to fault.
