The Congress of Penguins

Der Kongress der Pinguine

1993

A poetic, essayistic documentary that treats Antarctica as both a real place and the most fictional spot on earth — a land of dreams and nightmares where, the film muses, even the animals might speak. A meditative work about the last great wilderness.
