Werners boss Röhrig causing a lot of trouble with the painting of a house and then killing the owners dog while drilling a hole in a wall ending in a big fire - have fun!
See the great German filmaker get shot in the gut while giving an interview to the BBC - a couple of months later he pulled Jaquin Phoenix from a car wreck in LA. That's nothing, you should see his films! "Grizzly Man", "Rescue Dawn", "Fitzcaralldo", "Aguire: Wrath of God", "Even Dwarfs Started Small".
Clips from Les Blank's classic 1980 short, "Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe." (visit lesblank.com to obtain the whole film). The film documents Herzog fulfilling a bet he made with Errol Morris: if Morris would finish his brilliant first feature "Gates of Heaven," Herzog said he would eat his shoe. He uses this public stunt to say some very serious things about American pop culture, filmmakers becoming "clowns" to promote their work, and the culture of images (or lack thereof). Clips like these can be found at the new Media Funhouse blog, which offers clips, reviews, a guide to YouTube and other sites, as well as everything in pop culture "from high art to low trash, and back again..." www.mediafunhouse.blogspot.com
The title says it all. German film director Werner Herzog had made a bet with fledgling director Errol Morris that, if Morris made a film, Herzog would eat his shoe. Morris went on to film 'Gates of Heaven', so Herzog kept his promise. While eating the boiled shoe, Herzog carries on a dialogue with the film premier audience on film, art, and life. (I don't own anything. The video is here for educational and cultural purposes.)
Cave of Forgotten Dreams is the result of Herzog's exclusive access to the recently discovered Chauvet caves in the South of France, and their truly extraordinary cave paintings, dating back 32000 years.
