Werner Herzog, Director

Appeared at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival
Filmmaker Werner Herzog (AGUIRRE) has been drawn repeatedly to dark tales of delusional obsessives at odds with the natural world. In this award-winning documentary, Herzog recounts the story of Timothy Treadwell, a charming idealist who fancied himself the lone guardian of the grizzly bear. For more than a decade, Treadwell filmed and lived among grizzlies in the wilds of Alaska, a reckless intimacy that inevitably ended when he and his girlfriend were killed and eaten by a bear in 2003. Best Documentary, Directors Guild of America.

Hubert de Givenchy, whose spare, elegant and functional designs defined haute couture during the 1950s and 1960s, is profiled in this revealing documentary. Born into an aristocratic family who wished him to enter banking or law, as a young man Givenchy was strongly influenced by the pure, classic formalism of designer Cristobal Balenciaga. Givenchy rapidly established himself as a master of formal clothing and evening dresses, best exemplified by his longtime role as Audrey Hepburn’s personal and professional designer.
