The film meanders from one location to another and unconventional in its narrative and narration. The primordial aspect of molten lava flow and lava explosions captured on film are extraordinary and at times unsettling, such was the danger to the cameramen and the vertigo from enormous backdrops of crimson fury. The film is significant for showing a fresh insight into life in North Korea, and a fascinating insight into the fossil hunting of early humankind in the shadow of the volcano. He travels round the world, to Indonesia, Ethiopia, Iceland and North Korea to explore the effect volcanos have on their population and culture and myths.

As ever, this Herzog is a pleasure to watch. The footage of magma lava flows is incredibly beautiful and certainly the best you'll ever watch. Herzog's voice may be softer now that the years advance, but he remains insightful and a pleasure to listen to. There's a travelogue aspect with globe-trotting in the Caribbean, Pacific, Japan, North Korea, and Antarctica. There are the usual oddball characters acting in eccentric ways while others tell tragic stories and various slice-of-life stories. Herzog once again craftily mixes a variety of elements to keep this documentary fast-paced and eventful. This one's all about volcanoes and is a follow-up of sorts to ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD.

Is it possible for Werner Herzog to shoot a documentary that ISN'T interesting? So far my answer would be no INTO THE INFERNO is every bit as thoughtful, idea-provoking, and thoroughly engaging as the rest of the director's output that I've had the pleasure to watch.
