Grizzly Man (2005)
Timothy Treadwell's death was as sensational as his life: Having presumed he could live safely among the grizzly bears of the Alaskan wilderness, the outdoorsman and author (Among Grizzlies)--along with his partner, Amie Huguenard--was eventually killed and devoured by one of the very animals to whom he had devoted years of study. In telling this story, Werner Herzog relies considerably on Treadwell's own video footage, shot during his time in the wild. But in the manner well known to those familiar with the stunning nonfiction films Herzog has made throughout his career, and most notably from the early '90s through today, the famed German director takes Treadwell's story into unexpected emotional frontiers and startling landscapes of the mind.

"We took four garbage bags of human remains out of that bear."
That horrific statement, made by one of the people who assisted with the recovery of the bodies of Timothy Treadwall and Ann Huguenard will stay with me for a long time.
"Grizzly Man", the new documentary from Werner Herzog, follows the life of Treadwell,...

Now, why would anyone want to live with grizzlies? I keep driving down the roads near where I live and hope one day to spot a Florida black bear, but I have no intention of moving to the Ocala Forest and have them looking in my window. I leave that to the Rainbow people and those who are avoiding society for some reason -...

This is my favorite documentary of 2005, and one of my favorites of all time, succeeding where I felt the overrated March of the Penguins failed, in that its human element is something more than just heavy-handed voice-over narration. Timothy Treadwell is a tragic figure too sensitive for this world, but at the same time...

OK. I put off watching this film for a long time when a friend of mine described Tim Treadwell's death by bear attack. Fortunately that scene is only in my head and not the film. Scary enough though. Werner Herzog doesn't so much direct this film as play DJ to Tim Treadwell's homemade grizzly bear videos. Treadwell appears...
