Werner Herzog, the visionary director of “Grizzly Man,” takes us back in time over 32,000 years to explore the earliest known images of mankind in the Chauvet caves of southern France. Discovered in 1994, the caves are only accessible to a small number of researchers. By filming in 3-D, Herzog enriches our experience of one of the world’s great art treasures. His distinct narration and interviews with cave experts make this an unforgettable journey.

“Tabloid is a return to my favorite genre,” writes Errol Morris. “Sick, sad and funny, but, of course, it’s more than that. It is a meditation on how we are shaped by the media and even more powerfully, by ourselves.” At the center of the story is Joyce, a former Miss Wyoming with an IQ of 168. Morris writes, “Joyce is a woman profoundly influenced by her dreams and, in a sense, she was living in a movie long before she came to star in my film.”
