Airship is such an amazing, if apparently perilous, way to fly. Touching story of a man preoccupied by the need to honor his late aeronautical friend. Brilliant, likable, and a bit damaged, people (and Roosters) in this one.

Definitely my favourite of all documentary filmmakers is director Werner Herzog, and this is one of his best. Full of breathtaking imagery shot above the treetops of Guyana and the amazing Kaieteur Falls, where a highly aerial bird called the Swift lives in mysterious caves. The film takes on an almost spiritual dimension via Herzog's unique knack for finding human idiosyncrasies to aid his existentialist enquiries.

I think this is a pretty underrated Herzog doc. Like Encounters At The End Of The World, it's about many things-hopes,fears,dreams,regret and just life itself. It's a beautiful documentary. I'm going to give it a 4.5 for now but if you ask me sometime in the near future it could very well become a 5.

Upon my second viewing, I've realized this is one of Herzog's strongest and most affecting documentaries. All of his themes line up here. Reijsiger's score is among the greatest ever composed in my opinion.

Breathtakingly beautiful documentary follows another one of Werner Herzog's kindred obsessives, a man with a dream of flying a large balloon over the rainforests of South America.

I've seen just about everything Werner Herzog has done and in this setting he is at his best. By that I mean, documentary, odd characters, breathtaking natural beauty. If there is someone who films the natural world more seductively than Herzog, I'd like to know who it is. Herzog's narration is a hoot. I love the way that the camera lingers on people far past the end of what they are saying and then past even their comfort level. Some people can't keep it together under that scrutiny. This is a hugely overlooked movie that deserves a wider audience.
