Documentary. USA 2016, 98 min. Directed by Werner Herzog. In English with Russian subtitles. In his new documentary film, “Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World,” which was first shown at the Sundance Festival, Werner Herzog immerses himself in the past, present, and future of the virtual world. With his German meticulousness and romanticism, he tells the story of the Internet, from its pioneers at the University of California to contemporary visionaries like Elon Musk. However, Herzog is not merely interested by the scientific and technological achievements, nor by apocalyptic predictions connected with the development of the World Wide Web - he wants to know why the Internet has so completely changed (and continues to change) our life, to the point that even the Buddhist monks that Herzog met would check their Twitter feeds as soon as they emerged from meditation. Herzog studies the digital landscape with the same passion and dedication with which he crossed the wild landscapes of the Amazon, Sahara, or Antarctica, and tells about the mutual influence of two worlds - the online and the real - and how the latter of which, thanks to the influence of the internet, will never be the same.
