Synopsis

US, 2016; 98 mins

In his inimitable inquisitive style, maverick filmmaker Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man, Cave of Forgotten Dreams) takes viewers on a fascinating and provocative journey into the past, present and future of our digital world. Through a series of ten loosely interconnected chapters that reveal the ways in which technology has transformed our lives, for better and for worse, Lo and Behold tackles a wide range of topics, from online bullying and cyber-warfare to artificial intelligence and digital meltdowns. Called “alternately playful and unsettling” (Variety) and “incredibly moving and sobering” (Screen Daily), Herzog’s latest philosophical expedition is itself a wonder to behold. Courtesy of Magnolia Pictures.
