Grizzly Man


This is probably the most powerful film I have seen this year. Imagine a crazy homeless guy with a camcorder and a personality like Rupert Pupkin. Timothy Treadwell, the human star of this film, is almost scarier than his grizzly co-stars. But because he was nuts he ended up filming scenes no sane person would have waited around to capture, including the audio of his own death. He caught nature raw and unrefined. The director Werner Herzog does an amazing job telling the story of a man alienated by civilization and betrayed by the world he thought he belonged in.
Favorite moment: Any scene with the fox.
