They had been mauled and devoured by a grizzly, the first known victims of a bear attack in the park. Herzog plumbs not only the mystery of wild nature, but also the mystery of human nature as he chronicles Treadwell's final years in the wilderness.

About this product

Product Information

Werner Herzog's persistent inquiry into the motivations of human obsession focuses this time on the self-proclaimed kind warrior Timothy Treadwell. A passionate wildlife preservationist and grizzly bear devotee, Treadwell lived unarmed among the grizzlies in a remote section of Alaska for 13 years, and eventually died in a bear attack. He filmed his experiences during his final five years, and Herzog makes use of this footage in a posthumous portrait of a complex, intriguing character. A youthful blond actor turned nature lover, Treadwell is revealed over the course of the film to have been a troubled soul who found solace in the wild, and the existential questions and difficulties he faced in the world were, fascinatingly, worked out on film. Deftly interweaving Treadwell's quiet moments of nature appreciation with meandering introspection and alarmingly hostile rants, Herzog masterfully captures the enigma of the dead man. Herzog has a genuine appreciation of Treadwell's films, as well as sympathy for Treadwell's apparent ill peace with the world. Much of GRIZZLY MAN's complexity comes in our growing awareness of Timothy's apparent naivety, his need to see himself as a saviour, and his sentimentalising of nature. However, we are left with the impression of someone unafraid to follow his heart and go to any extreme even death in search of peace.

  • An all time classic that shows the wonders of humanity and nature

    If you like documentaries I would say you HAVE to watch this film. I have watched this 3-4 times and still it strikes me with wonder. Thank the Lord that people like Timothy Treadwell exist...and Herzog for that matter! I guess the reason I love this type of documentary so much is because it contrasts so much with the mundane existence that most of us call everyday life. Wener Herzog is a legend and this film is one of his best. As always, effortless to watch, whilst not crumpling any of the story, the film trickles on and never fails to engage the viewer. I think any viewer with a taste for documentary film will be left awestruck and wanting more. Indeed, if you have not seen any of Herzog's other films, head on and enjoy some more - 'Encounter's at the end of the World' and White Diamond are also brilliant.

  • As above

    Not only is it a very good nature film it depicts the mind of a man/woman who gets to close to wild animals for so long that he/she thinks they have a one on one mindset with a wild animal which will never never be as we find out with tragic results. Just like your aged Aunt or Uncle talking to their cat or dog with the words "he/she knows everything I say you know"

    This is a fantastic documentary/film I have watched it about 10 times now. Never gets boring. The story of Tim Treadwell is so so devastating but also so incredible and fascinating. His journey is one to watch. My new favourite film.
