Legendary director Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man, Rescue Dawn) talks about his latest film 'Cave of Forgotten Dreams'. Herzog's first foray into 3-D, the movie takes viewers on a journey through the Chauvet-Pont d'Arc Cave in Southern France, which contains perfectly preserved charcoal drawings, many of which date to 30,000 years ago.
The film was released in U.S. theaters on April 29th, 2011.

I am particularly interested because I visited the Lascaux caves (discovered in 1949 by two school boys) in south France 4 years' ago. As Herzog explained, they were closed due to the breath of thousands of visitors causing a mould on the walls, but an exact reproduction of the caves was built along side the original... and can be visited.
