The director made his name in the '70s with a series of intense fictional films, but he's also proven a fascinating documentarian.

[Herzog] knows instinctively when to linger and when it's time to turn away.

Taking a low-key approach, Herzog captures the pilgrims' intense fervor. The sight of 500,000 people united in prayer is mind-blowing.
