"The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot."

10/10

"This film might speak to you, or whisper to you. As with any film by Werner Herzog, it lives in feelings and images, not words. As a first approximation you could think of it as an exploration of some different forms of strangeness: anthropological, mythical, archeological. But it's not a scientific search for explanations. Essentially it asks: "What IS this!?!?" More a yearning than a search. A yearning for visceral contact with what, in our species, is ancient, mysterious, and possibly glorious. Quotations: Werner Herzog: "The world reveals itself to those who travel on ..."

The shipwreck in Puenta Arenas (Chile) is what remains of the SV Lord Lonsdale, built in 1889. It was hulked in 1909 after a cargo (coal) fire. It is not known how it ended up beached at this location at some point in the 1940s.
