I too, not a big Herzog fan, but always found him fascinating in his approaches and ideas to how film making should be done. His thoughts on cinema to me are far more valuable then his is actual film work.

I thought of him to be far more knowledgeable in cinema then most directors living or dead, but he lack perhaps the ability to execute his ideals fully and although making some great films, they fall short to his thinkings, I do believe he would admit the same in some degree.

Yes, it would have been great to see more of that.

Also I respect Herzog more than I actually enjoy his finished works. His DVD commentaries are excellent though, as are some of his methods of working. He is certainly an inspirational guy in many ways.

That was pretty cool to see. I actually would have liked to hear more. I’m not a huge Herzog fan but I have always found him an interesting guy. I find a lot of truth in his cinematic philosophy. It is something all true artists strive for whether consciously or not.
