Synopsis

GRIZZLY MAN explores the life and gruesome death of amateur grizzly bear expert and wildlife preservationist Timothy Treadwell. The film is a powerful cautionary tale about modern man’s relationship to wild nature as it follows Treadwell’s journeys to Alaska, where he lived among the grizzlies and grew to love them. Treadwell’s crusade to defend the grizzlies tragically ended when he – and his girlfriend – were attacked and killed by a rogue grizzly in October 2003. GRIZZLY MAN is a gripping and epic adventure story in the tradition of Jon Krakauer’s classic Into Thin Air and Into the Wild.

Reviews

"Brilliant, poetic, and utterly unique."

   - David Sterritt, Christian Science Monitor

"Herzog not only tells an incredible story but implies a dark metaphysic of the natural world that makes this film unsettlingly larger than its human subject."

   - Glenn Kenny, Premiere

"A brilliant documentary about an American saint and fool--a man who understands everything about nature except death."

   - David Denby, The New Yorker

"A brilliant portrait of adventure, activism, obsession and potential madness that ranks among helmer Werner Herzog's strongest work."

   - Scott Foundas, Variety

"A small masterpiece of a documentary that takes us into the heart of a complex darkness."

   - Desson Thomson, Washington Post
