“Ghost Elephants” resides in the intersection of science and lyrical reverie — Herzog’s treasured terrain. Here, the filmmaker focuses less on the elephants and more on the pursuers, the dreamers. Boyes — who is not particularly comfortable on camera — is not the only dreamer. Kerllen Costa, an Angolan ethnobiologist and environmental anthropologist, as well as the Khoisan master trackers Xui, Xui Dawid and Kobus, along with the director, have their own yearnings for the elusive herd. -New York Times
