Looks like Herzog's film, "Lessons of Darkness" (1995). Worth seeing if you like this.

Herzog is a fascinating character and director. I highly recommend watching Burden of Dreams which is a documentary following Herzog as he tries to direct the 1982 film Fitzcarraldo, its a fascinating portrait of a mans struggle against nature, it also gives a wonderful insight into Herzog himself.

Its one of my favorite films filled with amazing visuals of the Amazon, reflections by Herzog and his seemingly impossible trails during the production of Fitzcarraldo. I actually liked the documentary more then the final film itself. There is a clip of it on VS here.

Herzog also made the documentary Grizzly Man about a bear lover who filmed himself trying to live with bears, eventually getting himself and his girlfriend eaten by a bear.

Anyway its time to *requeue

I can see the parallel, Farhad. Man and his madness and control and commitment to beauty and destruction. Herzog is mad himself, that shoe-eating, jungle hating madman. Is that video of him being shot on here? I go look...

...oh yeah, there it is.

That was simply a recommendation of mine, none of the movies have anything to do with each other really.

Lessons In Darkness is different in that Herzog uses the imagery to construct his own view and understanding with regards to the Gulf War. I found the mixture of classical music, striking visual photography of oil spread over a desolate land with his incidental commentary very moving.

Baraka is also a favorite of mine. Though I hope Ron Fricke finishes Samsara sometime soon as well as the script is wonderful.

I've seen Koyanawhatsit, Powanasomething, and Maybe the last one. But those aren't Herzog, are they?

that is from Even Dwarfs Started Small, an early-ish Werner Herzog film:

I believe this is from Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man, an excellent film.

Posted this before, but it didn't make it. Good stuff. Kinski was a truly volatile man.

More about the indians' offer to have Kinski killed. I like how Herzog's response was "No, I need him to finish the movie!"

Perhaps he should watch the Herzog documentary "Grizzly Man" a few times.

Expect to see this guy on the news "Famed shark diver Andre Hartman was killed today by GUESS WHAT?"

Thanks! I was hoping people would like this one as it's my first actual post after a year of lurking.

There's another great interview by Rollins with Werner Herzog that I want to post, if I ever get out of this limbo.

Should be in Ball-Flexin', though it is a toss-up. Is this a dupe of http://www.videosift.com/video/Clint-Eastwood-as-Dirty-Harry-Do-you-feel-lucky-scene?

LMFAO @ Werner Herzog

The man was best friends with Klaus Kinski. Compared to life with Kinski, taking the occasional bullet is nothing. Some of the stories Herzog told about Kinski in his film "My Best Fiend" put the random, anonymous pot-shot in perspective. Kinski'a rage was legendary. One time he locked himself in a bathroom, and managed, bare-handed, to reduce everything in there to rubble. Toilet, sink and bathtub smashed to pieces no larger than gravel.
