Anyone seen his most recent film ‘Grizzly Man’? A documentay about a man who loved and lived with bears to the point where he was eaten alive by them. I haven’t but I want to. On Mark Kermode*'s alternative Oscars he said that predictably ‘March of the Penguins’ will win but the real best documentary of recent times is ‘Grizzly Man’. You have most of the films in the boxset Mr.Exhale except for ‘Nosferatu’ (which I prefer to the F.W.Murnau version and I love Murnau) and ‘My Best Fiend’ a documentary about Klaus Kinski. There is another Herzog boxset on sale at the moment.
*In a television interview with Herzog on BBC2’s ‘The Culture Show’ the director in mid interview was hit by a bullet shot from a prankster playing about with an air rifle. When Mark Kermode had a look at the wound (it was bad) in the director’s home Herzog just shrugged it off as if it was nothing.
