How one feels about him is irrelevant to this brilliant documentary. If anything, his colorful/quirky nature added to the film and made it more interesting to watch (IMO). This film was highly praised by 90 percent of the critics, many of them calling it the best documentary of the year. The omission is unforgiveable. Is there any way to find out why it was snubbed? Could it be because most of it was Treadwell’s footage and not Hezog’s? I just can’t understand it.

I sort of see the point. If the guy was some kind of visionary like Muir or Throeau it wouid have been pretty amazing. Still, I like the documentary and found it mezmerizing and disturbing but I know many who thought the guy was just nuts and not worthy of a film.
