Tiff ‘09: My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done
24 September 2009 7:42 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? Directed by Werner Herzog Respected iconoclastic auteurs Werner Herzog and David Lynch collaborate on this drama, with Herzog as director and Lynch as executive producer. My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done is inspired by the harrowing true story of Mark Yarovsky (Michael Shannon), a graduate student at Uscd who, after being cast as the lead role in a Sophocles production, went on to stab and kill his mother with an antique sabre in his neighbor's living room. William Dafoe stars as Detective Hank Havenhurst, who is called to the home where the murderer has barricaded himself in his house and taken two hostages. Across the street, Brad's mother lies dead, found sprawled in a pool of blood, and slowly a string of Brad's friends arrive on the scene, among them his girlfriend (Cloe Sevigny) and his theater-director pal (Udo Kier).

Sign Up For Film School With Professor Werner Herzog
24 September 2009 8:45 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Plenty of aspiring filmmakers hope to learn from their idols; few ever get the chance. But come January 2010, Werner Herzog fans will not only be able to study the ins and outs of film composition with the man behind such films as Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre, the Wrath of God, and the upcoming two Toronto Film Festival entries Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans and My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?, they'll get to pick up even more useful skills -- like lock-picking, avoiding gunfire, and "the neutralization of bureaucracy." And all for the low, low price of $1,450!*
Werner Herzog's Rogue Film School will last just one weekend in January, but what a weekend (and chunk of change) well spent: the idea seems to be not only to prepare the would-be auteur for on-the-fly filmmaking in difficult and perhaps dangerous parts of the world, but for Herzog to school his students in literature, »

Werner Herzog: Scariest film professor ever?
23 September 2009 1:14 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Digital video camera, $500. Weekend seminar, $1,450. Getting abused/inspired by legendary director Werner Herzog? Priceless. Herzog –- who just directed the new Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans starring Nicolas Cage –- is getting back to his non-Hollywood roots by starting a guerilla filmmaking school. Rogue Film School’s first long weekend seminar (at a reasonable $1,450) will be held in January in Los Angeles, with other locales to follow. Don’t expect shooting and editing tips, the school’s website says topics will include “the art of lockpicking and…the exhilaration of being shot at unsuccessfully.” Herzog himself says: "The Rogue Film School is not for the faint-hearted; it is for those who have travelled on foot, who have worked as bouncers in sex clubs or as wardens in a lunatic asylum...” Surviving participants will get a signed copy of Herzog’s Conquest of the Useless. This is the infamously »

Werner Herzog's Lost Bad Lieutenant Journals
3 August 2009 12:46 PM, PDT | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
Earlier this summer HarperCollins released Conquest of the Useless, Werner Herzog's production diaries from the filming Fitzcarraldo (1982). Shot for over two years on location in the depths of the Amazon jungle, Fitzcarraldo tells the story of a deliriously ambitious attempt to build an opera house in the depths of Peru. The madness of the plotline mirrors that of the filming itself, which pits both men against the senseless chaos of nature. Illuminating very little about the actual production process, Herzog’s diaries reveal an artist “hypnotized by his own imagination,” to quote Sunday’s New York Times book review of Conquest. That’s all good and well, but here at VFDaily, we pride ourselves in the most exclusive materials and are therefore pleased to report our man in Louisiana (who may or may not exist) recently slipped us excerpts (which may or may not be made up) from the »
Vacillating Voiceovers: A History of Unreliable Narrators
16 July 2009 8:39 AM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
We trust the movies. We have to. Most of them only work if we look up at the images changing 24-times-a-second in front of us and believe that they reflect some sort of objective reality where a man can fly his house to South America or alien robots can transform into cars. Even when a movie is told entirely from a character's perspective, we assume that the intimacy cinema provides to hear a person's thoughts or see things the way they do affords us some safety from deception. We are wrong. People lie; the movies can too.
Some movies take that trust and exploit it, or prey on it, or play with it. In "(500) Days of Summer," a man named Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) falls in love with a woman named Summer (Zooey Deschanel). The film begins with Tom's friends sitting him down and asking him to explain what happened in his relationship with Summer, »

Herzog Speaks on 'Fitzcarraldo' In New Book
6 July 2009 4:23 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Over the July 4th weekend I finally saw Werner Herzog's much praised 2005 doc Grizzly Man and while I was watching I couldn't help but think about how amazing it would have been had Herzog been given the chance to put together a camping trip with Grizzly Man protagonist Timothy Treadwell and the famed Herzog collaborator Klaus Kinski. I don't think Kinski would have been afraid of a grizzly bear and I have a good feeling he may have eaten Treadwell before the grizzlies ever had a chance to all while yelling obscenities at Treadwell's pet fox. Both men were (and still are) eternally fascinating and deserving of Herzog's eye as it didn't take me long to realize why Treadwell's story fascinated Herzog to the point of piecing together 90 minutes of Treadwell's amateur footage into a feature-length doc and it was worth every minute. Bringing this little story back to the headline, »

Werner Herzog’s Diaries Excerpted Online
29 June 2009 11:35 AM, PDT | Spout.com | See recent Spout news »
In Coppola's house on Broadway. Outside the wind is howling, whipping the laurel bushes. The sailboats in the bay are lying almost flat, the waves sharp-contoured and restless. The Alcatraz Light is flashing signals, in broad daylight. None of my friends is here. It is hard to buckle down to work, to shoulder this heavy burden of dreams. Only books provide some measure of comfort.
The NYTimes.com has published an excerpt of Werner Herzog's Conquest of the Useless, his diary of the making of Fitzcarraldo.

“Nazis. I hate these guys.”: 15 WWII Movies Worth Watching Before You See Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.
26 May 2009 4:10 PM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Who knew that the Nazis -- one of the most brutal regimes in the history of brutal regimes -- would be responsible for such fun, mind-blowingly awesome entertainment? The second I see a dude in a grey German uniform and an eye patch enter the frame, I’m like ‘Whoa. That Nazi is going to provide me a great amount of entertainment this evening’. So, with Inglorious Bastards having recently premiered at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, I figured I'd put together a list of some awesome WW2 films as a resource for anyone wanting to beef up their WW2 film knowledge before checking out Tarantino's self-proclaimed 'masterpiece'. It's worth noting that I focused on older films -- pre-1980 for the most part -- and only the stories featuring Nazi's. It was tough to cut this down to 15 films, but I'm sure you all will be able to come up with »

Hey Folks Celebrity On Set Blow-Ups aren't Uncommon
3 February 2009 3:19 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I just saw Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo on January 26 and have yet to watch Herzog's documentary My Best Fiend: Klaus Kinski but have always known about this special little clip from it and felt now was probably the best time to bring it to the table as Klaus Kinski has his own on set tantrum. Both Fitzcarraldo and My Best Fiend: Klaus Kinski are available on NetFlix Instant Play in case you are interested. Roger Ebert, whom I believe is good friends with Herzog, has a great review of Fitzcarraldo here, it really is a one-in-a-million kind of film. On top of that I bring you the infamous Lily Tomlin and David O. Russell vids from the set of I Heart Huckabees as well as a remix of Bale's blow-up as found at Hollywood-Elsewhere.
