Into the Inferno

"Herzog has always shown a gift for immersing us in the startling extremes of the natural world, and his images here do not disappoint." 

"The footage Herzog's compiled coalesces into a truly cinematic experience." 

"There’s no denying the allure of watching magma spit and lava rush down mountainsides (...) And yet, 'Into the Inferno' proves most fascinating when documenting the ways in which primitive peoples invest these angry craters with spirits and gods." 

"The most interesting character of all is Herzog himself (...) his worldview is inescapable, and his words have a way of coming out of other people’s mouths." 

"A series of portraits of obsessed people, each painted by one of the most likable obsessives in cinema (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"[It] may be relatively minor Herzog (...) But it is enormously satisfying, filled with wisdom, insight and molten lava (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
