Fitzcarraldo (1982)
Why do the Academy Awards always ignore the work of Werner Herzog??
Werner Herzog – the german director of such terrific films and documentaries, like:
Feature Films:
Aguirre: The Wrath of God (1972)
The Mystery of Kasper Hauser (1974)
Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)
Strozek (1977)
Fitzcarraldo (1982)
Rescue Dawn (2007)
Documentaries:
The Land of Silence and Darkness (1971)
Little Dieter Needs to Fly (1997)
My Best Fiend (1999)
Grizzly Man (2005)
Did he spit in there clam chowder or something back in the day??
He’s the most underappreciated director of all-time.
If you haven’t watched any of his films, do yourself a favor, and get started, like today.
I like Herzog, too… but my theory’s that he doesn’t have much of a promotional machine.
Yep. That simple.
Emmys are going the right direction with their blue-ribbon panel voting. Maybe the Oscars will, too, one of these days.
