Into the Abyss

I watched Into the Abyss, a documentary film by Werner Herzog. It tells the tragic stories of the victims, survivors, and perpetrators of a triple homicide in the state of Texas, in the U.S.A. 

Throughout the film, you can sense Herzog's humaneness and intelligence. He expresses opinions in the course of talking to the people involved, but one never feels that the film itself demands a particular conclusion. The interviews are arranged such that the story seems to tell itself. 

There are several people Herzog talks to who display an authentic sagacity and life wisdom that can only have been gained through such tragic experience or such catastrophic mistakes. When they speak, there are no false notes.
