🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Documentary filmmaking that doesn't collect facts but builds an argument. The director has a position and doesn't hide it — credit for honesty. You watch and know you're being led somewhere specific.
Not without propagandistic techniques, but the arguments are convincing. If the subject interests you — worth watching. If not — it'll overwhelm.
Good for solo viewing or a small group of interested people. Not for a party.
Director: Werner Herzog
