Herzog and the Telluride Film Festival are synonymous! We sang him "Happy Birthday" on his 80th in the Werner Herzog Theatre after a documentary about his life... holding up hundreds of facemasks with Werner's mugshot on it... Bravo Werner!
I still remember how I was once worried that no one knew Werner Herzog anymore and that he was just an insider tip among cineastes. These images, this film music by Popol Vuh, people have to see it! Today I know that he is considered one of the greatest directors of all time. Worldwide. That calms me down immensely. I as a german are super proud of him.
I just read Werner's book, incredibly rich and fascinating. His documentary "My Best Fiend" about his long relationship with crazy Klaus Kinski and the making of Fitzcarraldo a must-see (dad met him at an L.A. signing in 2005). And his 1979 Nosferatu with Kinski and Isabelle Adjani didn't need two hundred million in CGI to be terrifying, unlike a certain Neporatu coming out on Xmas Day. Long live the great cinematic visionary and writer Werner Herzog!! 🎉🎉❤❤
I haven’t seen Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu yet but I hope you haven’t lumped him in with the “everything wrong with movies today” crowd. He is a terrific filmmaker
That movie has such an hypnotic and ethereal feel to it, it can make me nod off! I think I might have to down a bunch of glucose tabs to watch it next time - I’m diabetic and I’ve never been a coffee drinker so I have to come up with some way to do it!
I also visited Machu Picchu in 2016 and got to at least see the mountain trail he had his caravan descending in the opening scenes - that trail is narrow and scary! It’s the path up to Huayna Picchu at the northern point of MP. Once you go there you feel a mystical connection to it for the rest of your life.
Herzog inspired me to get my first tattoo: it’s two of the prehistoric cats from the Chauvet cave in France that Herzog was allowed to film inside of for his doc Cave of Forgotten Dreams. I was watching the movie in late 2012 at home after I’d been kicking around design ideas so I looked up some of the images online, sent them to my high school buddy and he was really jazzed about inking them on my arm.
@@shyman3000 Btw, filming inside the cave was an EXTREMELY rare op for Herzog, only the highest level researchers are allowed in there -- the CO2 from breathing alone can damage the images.
@@tommyt1971 Yeah it was a testament to Herzog's legendary status as a filmmaker that they even let him in there. One of the highlights of his career. As a side note, there is a great book called "The Mind in the Cave...Consciousness and the Origin of Art" that talks about the caves in France and what they mean to humanity. It's a masterpiece of anthropological writing, has maps of the caves and great illustrations and photos too. Maybe more inspiration for tattoos!
He has been richly blessed, that's for certain. Guess it's true we're all born for certain things. Never believe the lie that says, You Can Do Or Be Anyone/Thing You Want. Unless of course whatever that is, truly comes from you. Not everyone wants to play for the WNBA or should, or can, or will. Not everyone wants to climb Sagarmatha, or should, can, or will.
He provided jobs for many locals who were grateful to have them. Locals were already "tainted" and continue to be "tainted." What he "destroyed" is miniscule to what you destroy every day using all of your products and transporation.

YES!! Best Fiend!! That movie was enthralling - I always knew their relationship was volatile but I never figured it was THAT volatile!
I haven’t seen Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu yet but I hope you haven’t lumped him in with the “everything wrong with movies today” crowd. He is a terrific filmmaker
@@bentrendI just did and it doesn't match up to Werner's direction or Kinski 's portrayal. Naporatu.
He's a great soul. The Into the Abyss series is eye- opening, heartbreaking, and brilliant.
Aguirre - The Wrath of God will always remain one of the greatest cinematic achievements in film history .

I've never been one for tattoos but that might be the best tatoo idea ive ever heard. You honor a great artist and art itself.
@@shyman3000 Thanks! And thanks to the artists from 32-34K yrs ago who drew the cats in the first place!

@@shyman3000 Thanks for the heads-up on that, I'll check out the book!
Too bad more people don't feel this way about one on one communication.
LEGEND
The book is a keeper

Hero
I can’t see Werner without thinking of him saying “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” on Conan. ua-cam.com/video/wWRE99kalPQ/v-deo.html
Because Nothing says "Christmas" like the single-most Depressing Director Ever
His book great. Klaus' tirades in Fiend hilarious.
How so? "Fitzcarraldo" seems like the movie about the most determined and hopeful person in film history.
How disgusting that he destroyed forests and tainted the indigenous people to make a stupid idiotic film like Fitzcarraldo.
He wasn’t alone in doing this
He provided jobs for many locals who were grateful to have them. Locals were already "tainted" and continue to be "tainted." What he "destroyed" is miniscule to what you destroy every day using all of your products and transporation.
@jude999 oh.."jobs" huh..yeah right..maybe the patron saint of hopeless causes would have been more appropriate for those "locals" to
Woah, Seth’s impression camp has really paid off. @latenighseth #LNSM
