I'll have to watch this one. I enjoy Herzog's movies, especially the documentaries he narrates.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_of_Forgotten_Dreams" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_of_Forgotten_Dreams</a><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encounters_at_the_End_of_the_World" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encounters_at_the_End_of_the_W...</a><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Abyss_%28film%29" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Abyss_%28film%29</a><p>For one, I simply like hearing his voice I think. But of course he is a good director as well. There is something different about his approach, and it seems he is more passionate about the topics, he goes all in and becomes rather obsessed about stuff. He also appears compassionate towards his subjects. In his documentaries about the capital punishment, for example, he tried not to take sides or be accusatory, at least not in an obvious in your face type way.
I, for one, am very excited. Werner Herzog has one of the most fascinating minds, and his ability to capture new and interesting perspectives in his films consistently amazes me.<p>Tech needs Herzog. This industry has too much money grubbing and too much Asperger's. I'm sure Herzog will be able to break through that all to poignantly show us what is beautiful and what is banal.
I also recommend his documentary on his contentious relationship with his long time collaborator Klaus Kinski: "My Best Fiend".
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Best_Fiend" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Best_Fiend</a><p>Kinski was a very, shall we say, capricious actor (also, a psychopath and as, it turned out later, child molester) whose intense acting had a big part in the success of Herzog's earlier movies (Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre, Nosferatu). During the filming of Aguirre (in the middle of the jungle), Herzog supposedly forced Kinski to fulfill his contract at gun point. The natives which were hired to help and act in the film also offered to kill Kinski for Herzog because he was such a maniac.
