It may not be exceedingly informative, but it is positively breathtaking.

No narration so not an informative documentary which could of been used with hearing these incredible sounds. You can understand why its not there as its still a great feat without, I just would of preferred it.

Imma pick up some of those church bells on ebay

Without a shred of narration, Herzog explores both commonplace belief and the more extreme side of religion. The ones on the fringes are naturally more interesting. Faith healers, exorcists, shamen, 2 fake Christs. As usual there are some glorious moments: the scenes featuring the Tuvan throat singers and the bell ringer are transcendent. Herzog's atypical lack of commentary is respectful, but it does prevent the film from being as informative as it could be. A little more context would be nice.

Another fascinating doc by Herzog that starts slow but gets more and more strange as it goes on. That Mongolian throat-singing stuff is wicked!

Wodaabe meets God's Angry Man meets Heart of Glass. An audio-visually gorgeous and very poetic documentary the kind only Herzog is capable of. Don't expect it to be very informative in the bookish sense, though: Herzog is interested in what he calls the "Ecstatic Truth" - not in dry facts. But believe me, ecstatic truth it is.

Some remarkable sounds and images that you will most likely never hear or see anywhere else.
