Werner Herzog,
Germany, United Kingdom,
1999,

The lines between madness and artistry, and confrontation and creation, are explored through Werner Herzog’s look at his fiery collaborations with frequent lead, and frequent tormenter, Klaus Kinski. Together they created masterpieces, while nearly killing one another.

Japan,

Chishu Ryu and Setsuko Hara as father and daughter in a deceptively simple, eloquent story of filial devotion and parental sacrifice: this is a near-perfect film, and one of Yasujiro Ozu’s own favorites.

Werner Herzog,
Germany, Peru,
1982,
(157 mins)
“In a film of stunning spectacle and furious struggle, boat and task become centerpieces for two tales of obsession. Every bit as driven as Fitzcarraldo’s efforts to move the craft upward, Mr. Herzog’s determination to perform the feat in actuality inspired Les Blank’s documentary Burden of Dreams, also released in 1982, about the making of the film” (Peter M. Nichols, New York Times).
