Great concept and very skillfully executed. Werner Herzog is the perfect narrator for this too. I've thought about making a film with a similar concept before - following ore from a mine as it gets processed, made into various things and ultimately is discarded and forgotten.

Watched it last night. I'd pass on it if you have other things to do. It just sort of feels like he captured incredible footage of the Iraqi oil fires that he didn't know what to do with. The footage is amazing, but he sort of laid this sci-fi narrative over it.

Me too, I love Herzog films. Been working my way through his filmography recently... Fitzcarraldo (a masterpiece), Little Dieter Needs to Fly, The White Diamond, Grizzly Man (superb), Rescue Dawn and last night saw Burden of Dreams- a documentary about the making of Fitzcarraldo. This series of Children's book narrations is really close to the mark.

"Werner Herzog's version woul only serve to point out the meaninglesness of my own existence."

I feel the Superbowl already does this with great efficiency.

And, I'm on a Herzog kick today.

Cannes had some heavy entries this year and Antichrist/Enter the Void are probably worthwhile to watch..Haneke's film doesn't look like fun indeed - saw the trailer - but knowing his reputation..
The most recent Cormac McCarthy film The Road is hopefully (almost) as good as No Country for Old Men..but the new Coen bros film, A serious man, I don't know..
Korine will be good I guess, hope they'll release the Korine film, his last film was not.
Herzog with 2 films coming out..good stuff..
And a new Todd Solondz, black humour:)
Avatar will be an interesting moment in cinema history..
And indeed 2010 with Burton's Alice; Nolan's scifi..
and King Shot (produced by Lynch)

Dunston Checks In

Indeed something to look backward to..and think, why? Any flicks you're looking forward to blankie?
And Sarzy, you'll do a report from the festival on your blog? Wish I could be there..


I really do want to see Antichrist. Farhad, where is the torrent? I cant find it.

I am really curious about the road, also. Hopefully it will be better than the trailer makes it look. I loved the book. I seriously doubt that it will be on the level of no country.

I also really want to see my son, my son, the newest from herzog, presented by lynch.


Also, the new hirokazu kore-eda, still walking, looks very promising.
