In the 1950s, when Werner Herzog was 13, he was sharing an apartment with Klaus Kinski, an ego-maniacal live-wire. In an unabated, 48 hour fit of rage, Kinski destroyed every piece of furniture in sight. From this chaos, a beautiful albeit volatile partnership was born. In 1972, Herzog cast Kinski in Aguirre, The Wrath of God. Four more films would follow. In this personal documentary, Herzog traces the often violent up and downs of their relationship, revisiting Munich apartment where they firs...
Encounters is an almost straight forward account of Werner Herzog going to Antarctica.Invited to go by one of the scientific organizations he agreed to go because he was fascinated by life under the sea ice (see his Wild Blue Yonder which used footage from under the ice to represent an alien world) and wanted to have a chance to film life there. He also warned them it would not result in film about fluffy penguins.
This is not Shackleton's Antarctica. The main US base is more like a mining colo...
perhaps one of the most original films ever made. hauntingly beautiful. the hypnotized actors are used to an eerie and mesmerizing effect. a very subtle work. very disjointed and truly experimental这是一部末世纪寓言故事，晦涩但富有视觉表现力。

《儿子，你都干了什么》是一部关于心理恐怖的电影。除了导演和制片人之外，演员阵容也颇为强大。继迈克尔·珊农、威廉·达福和科洛·塞维尼加盟本片之后，近日迈克尔·佩纳、布拉德·道里夫和比尔·考布斯也确认出演。
本片的情节来源于一个真实的故事，一位圣地亚哥的男子经历了一系列无法解释的神奇事件，一个怪念头导致他残忍的用刀杀害了自己的母亲。赫尔佐格表示：“我一直以来都想拍一部恐怖电影，但是不想表现为鲜血淋漓的斧头和铁链那样。而希望观众从中感受到一种莫名的恐惧。”
'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. To call it amateurish, or even just plain bad, would be churlish: Herzog clearly lacked the hardware and the money to make anything better. And yet, watching this film in hindsight, there really are no glimmerings of the immense talent which Herzog would later dis...
A friend once commented to me that what made a painting more interesting than say, just the oil on the canvas, was the story behind the painting and the story behind the person who painted it. This works ideally when applied to this wonderfully, deeply affecting film. IF you've watched this film then you must know a little about the back story and if now read the twenty other reviews posted here. The truth is what makes this film great! The truth it takes to mix this film with fact and fiction, ...
德国导演沃纳•赫尔措格（Werner Herzog）即使不是唯一，但也可以列入世界上最富冒险精神导演行列了。他的影片往往充满了刺激和挑战，或在热带雨林和另一个疯子克劳斯•金斯基打造陆上行舟的奇景，或与各种危险动物近距离接触，为此付出生命也在所不惜。
2004年的《白钻石》中，赫尔措格引领观众简要回顾飞机和氢气球的发展史。接着便带出本片另一个主角——研究氢气球的格雷姆•多灵顿博士（Graham Dorrington 饰），一个14岁时被火箭炸掉两根手指、同样富有冒险精神的男人。他们将乘坐多灵顿发明的氢气飞船圭亚那内陆的顶端丛林...
Herzog deserves hats off, any academy award for best director. A film so beautiful should be more well known. The atmosphere is stuck with you from the beginning with the chants and the screams. The characters fit the film perfectly, besides the librarian guy. The colors were great, the shots were planned out great. The simplicity of a shadow was made so mesmerizing. I felt chills all around my body after watching this film. It had a touch with all those shadows and the shot with the vampires ha...

A group of young men break into an old deserted castle and find some uniforms and become soldiers. On the soundtrack the narrator speaks of the history of the building and eventually talks of the necessity of war.
Clever look at how boys playing war may end up taking it too far. Its a bit one note and is probably a couple of minutes too long, however there are some intriguing moments such as the change that happens as the uniforms are put on or how the military mind is ultimately operating in a...
This movie is far from perfect, but there are a few scenes here and there that are absolutly hair-raising : Kinski in a state of total exaustion at the begining, the scene in the woods when he starts to hear voices and the unbeleivable murder scene consisting of two shots disguised as one that last about 5 minutes in slow motion (it has to be seens to be beleived). The use of music is fantastic, the photography impecable. Herzog does as usual and captures another world while Kinski is plainly li...
The short is shot in B&W and is a very surreal film. Set on a greek island this short doesnt have a plot but rather follows like a documentary the tragik story of an old man who withdraws himself of the life on the island. It is told by the residents of the Island. In their Interviews they repeat their sentences over and over again. The Island is probably the last place in the world, its people are the last and the old man is the last of them...

Perhaps Aguirre is the better film but Brian Fitzgerald (Fitzcarraldo) is an even better character. We love dreamers and Fitz may be the greatest dreamer ever created on film. Kinski in his white suit with his "Hair by Charlie Manson" manning the turret atop the Molly Aida, firing volleys of Caruso at the native tribesman. Ah, unforgettable. Herzog is a truly unique voice and has never been afraid to experiment. Fitzcarraldo is one of the experiments that succeeds 一个热爱卡鲁索...
Werner Herzog's first film is a view into the mindset of the soldier who goes over the brink, but unlike many films that might explore the concept, or even Herzog's own later, arguably greater, Woyzeck, Signs of Life is about a man engulfed by the location. The setting is interesting right away; a stone fortress that men who have been wounded or just put on leave are guarding on a remote Greek island during WW2 (of course, we're never told this, which is appropriate, one can take a guess as to t...
