There are quite a few Herzog films I haven't seen, especially some in his new documentary box set (see his website for details).
I want to see Lessons of Darkness so bad you can't believe it- where and when did you see it?
Rescue Dawn is another one that seems like a can't-miss.
You cannot talk about Herzog without talking about Kinski. A match made in cinematic heaven. In my top three of documentaries of all-time is Herzog's tribute to this incredible, wild, posessed actor My Best Fiend.
It's absolutely riveting.
The final scene had me crying like a baby.
Thanks for that film, Werner.
Jon Rosenbaum loves Fata Morgana- he put it on his 1000 best list in his book "Essential Cinema"
His website has a link to an IFC interview with Henry Rollins, who worships Herzog's films as well. He says something about Los Angeles in there that I agree with. He said what I've been thinking about that city for a long time. (I've been to L.A. on 3 seperate occasions and I loved every trip).
I'm going through Herzog's films one by one at the Ottawa U and I'll post something lengthy some time later.
(Consider it an in-progress project)
