Part punk wildlife doc, part diary of a twisted soul, part cautionary tale, Grizzly Man is a complex, unique and engrossing journey into the murky recesses of an unhinged mind.

The documentary is an uncommon meeting between Treadwell's loony idealism, and Herzog's bleak worldview.

One of my favorite documentaries. One watches the story of Timothy Treadwell with incredulity. It's a tragic story infused with a heart by means of intimately personal footage of and by this crazy/weird individual.

En poetisk, både intellektuelt og emotionelt stimulerende, odyssé ind i en anden verden, ind i et andet menneske.

En af mine all time yndlingsfilm, en ubeskrivelig bizar og samtidig bevægende 'freak'-dokumentar.

Gripande och intressant som alltid hos Herzog, en sann särling inom filmkonsten.

What is Grizzly Man about? Toggle content

In the awe-inspiring documentary "Grizzly Man," filmmaker Werner Herzog explores the life and death of Timothy Treadwell, an amateur grizzly bear expert who lived unarmed among the wild beasts for 13 summers. Treadwell's untimely demise, along with his girlfriend Amie Huguenard, is a poignant reminder of the unforgiving nature of the wild and the dangers of underestimating its power. Through interviews with Treadwell's loved ones and experts, as well as sequences from over 100 hours of video footage shot by Treadwell himself, Herzog delves into the spirit of a man who sacrificed everything for nature, and the harsh reality that led to his downfall.
