My only problem with "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" was that it probably should have been an amazing 45 minute film, but he stretched it to twice that to make it into a feature. By the end, what was initially magical felt diminished by repetition.
In contrast, when I visited Grotte de Niaux [1], we were allowed only a brief moment to see the cave paintings to keep the cave temperature constant. That limited time was truly special.
