The Wild Blue Yonder / UK/USA/France/Germany / 2005

A new genre, the absurdist science fiction nature documentary. Werner Herzog’s film was originally shown on BBC4’s Storyville strand back in 2005, but is now receiving a belated and rather unnecessary cinema release. There’s some interesting ideas here, and some beautiful underwater photography. But you never get the feeling Herzog takes any of this particularly seriously, it’s a lightweight curio. Brad Dourif hams it up in time honoured fashion, and the endless throat singing gets really annoying after a while.
