'Herakles' is, of course, the Greek form of the name 'Hercules'. This is also the title of the first film made by the great director Werner Herzog. Produced on a bootlace budget, this short film with no soundtrack is very crude indeed.

And yet, watching this film in hindsight, there really are no glimmerings of the immense talent which Herzog would later dis...
