Just about anywhere Werner Herzog goes becomes an interesting place, in part because the director shapes it with his distinctively sardonic eye—and unmistakable Teutonic narration. Here, the 'Zog heads off to Antarctica, finding there a population of unusual people, hallucinatory underwater life and (possibly suicidal) penguins. The curious, the oddball, the wanderers who've run out of other places to explore, all survive on what could very well be another planet. Call it Planet Herzog. D: Werner Herzog, US, 2007, 99m
