That great eccentric poet of cinema Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man, The White Diamond) trains his cameras on Antarctica and finds visual splendor and seductive danger on the frozen continent, from those who dive below the sea to penguins who consider prostitution. Herzog gets inside the minds and hearts of the people who live there and study its mysteries. Herzog is one of a kind. His new doc is an event you watch in awe as you marvel at its wonders.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
