Lo and behold, reveries of the connected world
Content:
Since the 29th of October 1969, wen the first ever internet transmission was made, our world has undergone a revolution that has affected not only communications, technology and business but our very consciousness. Beginning with that first word, "lo", Werner Herzog takes us on a journey that is focused as much on the personal and spiritual as on the electrical or mechanical. In his usual wry, observational style, he explores this vast subject through individual stories, each voice given as much weight as the last. In context, this is as humorous as it is humane - it reflects the unintended ironies that pop up in unfiltered information online - yet Herzog is gentle as ever, even when talking about absurd or appalling things, and there is never a hint of spite. Every word represents value ... "Lo and Behold" is beautifully shot, its outdoor landscapes so vibrant and verdant one can almost smell them, its indoor spaces cool and shining yet welcoming as Kubrick made them, not alienating like Tarkovsky's.
