When i asked Herzog on the net about his expectation, if any, of an after-life (my question prompted by his documentary on Buddhism, and remembering him saying that Kaspar Hauser's lack of spiritual sense disproved God's existence- or similar), he dismissively answered, how should he know? He also wasn't happy with the term "adventures" to describe his unusual life experiences. An outdated concept, apparently. Aguirre is certainly a mesmerising "adventure", though.
