Thanks for posting this , interesting interview although as you say the questions cover mostly old ground. But I never tire of hearing Herzog speak.
For anyone interested the new BFI Blu-ray box set is fantastic with plenty of extras, short films and documentaries thrown in.
I’m sure there are more in-depth reviews that I’ve seen but this is one that I’ve found in a hurry
Box set review.1 February 2015
I so want to buy that box set, even if we already pretty much have all of those films as we own Anchor Bay’s two box sets from the mid-2000s that in 11 DVDs cover most of his feature films. And then we have the Australian 10 DVD set by Shock Entertainment, which collects almost all of his documentaries and shorts up until 2004. And on top of that we have some individual DVDs as well. And I haven’t even watched everything that these sets offer.
But blu-ray… and more extras… so tempting…
Werner Herzog was recently on BBC’s HARDtalk program, and although there isn’t much new in it to people who know Herzog, he is always fun to listen to.
In her book on Kurosawa, Teruyo Nogami shared this lovely anecdote about Herzog:
I would say that Herzog is definitely one of those most interesting living filmmakers, and I’m very much looking forward to his new feature film — his first dramatic film in six years — called Queen of the Desert and starring Nicole Kidman, James Franco, Damian Lewis and Robert Pattinson.
