Well known for capturing human obsession at its most extreme in both dramas and documentaries, Werner Herzog found a perfect example in the reformed alcoholic, paranoid, child-like Timothy Treadwell. The result was 100 minutes of compelling cinema, as Grizzly wove heartbreak, horror and plenty of humour (some of it possibly unintentional - the local coroner's two-cents worth had to be seen to be believed), into a fascinating story of a man who seemed to act as if "he was working with people in bear costumes, rather than wild animals". -Flicks.co.nz's Top 50 Films of the Decade.
German veteran Herzog explores the life of eccentric naturalist Timothy Treadwell - a man whose obsession with Alaska's grizzly bears lead him to live amongst them for periods of time, until his dramatic death & digestion by the animals he was devoted to.
