Stroszek still remains a favorite. I like that it's billed as a comedy.

might go see Encounters at the End of the World tomorrow in the cinema, got free tickets to a movie that screens not long after it tho, and ive never watched two films in the cinema in a row before, probably worth it tho.

seals'
(paraphrasing but) I do not know why Discovery Channel paid to send me down here when there was no chance in hell I would be making a movie about penguins
seriously though, i was as surprised as anyone that it was actually a solid film, herzog is a good filmmaker

If it hadn't been for ILX, I wouldn't have even known this, but RIP Bruno S. TBH I kind of assumed he'd died years ago. Now I'm sad (;_;) loved this dude, some of the best performances I've ever seen in cinema.

Stroszek is the best Herzog film and Bruno S was an amazing (amateur) actor.or was it acting?

Has anyone seen "My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done" yet? It's just come out here on DVD in the UK. Michael Shannon is my favorite actor working right now, and the notion of Lynch having a hand in it is really intriguing, but I've picked up on a mostly negative/highly mixed reaction (I've deliberately not read any reviews).

any of 'em essential viewing?
― Simon H., Sunday, 19 December 2010 23:25 (thirteen years ago) link
None of them are what I'd call essential...would maybe choose "Green Ants" but "The Wild Blue Yonder" is probably the worst of his that I've seen, though I haven't seen "Invincible".

Saw "Cave Of Forgotten Dreams" in 3D last night. Was pretty amazing. I went with someone who'd already seen it in 2D and she said it was a totally different experience. It really feels like you are in these caves. It's pretty incredible. He uses a mix of lo-fi and hi-fi video, which is great, because it sounds like they were only allowed in the caves a very limited time. You have a number of different ways of looking at them. The 3D reproductions of the ancient sculpture art was jaw-dropping. The spear-throwing demonstration was great, and kind of funny as a nod to 3D gimmickry. But completely appropriate for the movie!
Caveat: Some of the 3D was terrible (but these parts only lasted a few seconds usually), and at some parts I think he just toned down the 3D effect altogether. But I think the importance of the subject matter more than makes up for it, and I'd rather support innovative efforts in 3D documentary than something like Transformers 3D.
― Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 15 June 2011 15:32 (thirteen years ago) link
The ten uninterrupted minutes that he lets you spend just in the cave, slowly looking around, MUST be seen in 3D.

though to be honest, by the end i was really worn out on the lingering slow pans of the cave paintings
Maybe you saw it one too many times.

well tbh i walked out of the 2d version like 25 mins in and asked for my money back

this movie was mostly enthralling, as much despite as because of werner herzog.
― by another name (amateurist), Wednesday, 15 June 2011 22:39 (thirteen years ago) link
by this movie i mean 'cave of forgotten dreams'
sick of herzog's flaky mouth-agape psuedo-philosophizing.
'tell me how you discovered the cave.'
'well, we were scaling this cliff when--'
'is this where the human soul was born?'

true, but whether self-conscious or not, the 'wernor herzog persona' definitely rubs weirdly against the other aspects of his documentaries
