Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World (2016)

  • Herzog, Werner
  • 2016, Documentary, USA, Werner Herzog
  • Leave a comment

More educative than cinematic, Herzog’s documentary about technology, particularly the affordances and perils of the Internet, lacks the cutting-edge incisiveness of more well-developed treatises on the subject.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

Into the Inferno (2016)

  • Herzog, Werner
  • 2016, Documentary, USA, Werner Herzog
  • Leave a comment

Despite not having a strong central focus and being rather all over the place—quite literally so as it covers volcanoes around the world—Herzog’s documentary remains eye-opening and culturally illuminating as it explores the myths and cults surrounding these fiery beasts of nature.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2010)

  • Herzog, Werner
  • 2010, France, Germany, Werner Herzog
  • 1 Comment

Herzog takes us into the inaccessible Chauvet Cave in Southern France containing the oldest drawings (more than 30,000 years old!) known to humanity in this fascinating lo-fi documentary about art transcending space and time. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Family Romance, LLC (2019)

  • Herzog, Werner
  • 2019, Japan, USA, Werner Herzog
  • Leave a comment

While it may be rather underwhelming, Herzog’s gentle docu-fiction explores our need to connect with another human being despite the increasing commodification of human experiences in modern societies.

⭐⭐⭐

Into the Abyss (2011)

  • Herzog, Werner
  • 2011, USA, Werner Herzog
  • Leave a comment

Herzog’s take on capital punishment from a humanistic standpoint – haunting, hopeful, and strange.

Fitzcarraldo (1982)

  • Herzog, Werner
  • 1982, Peru, Werner Herzog, West Germany
  • 2 Comments

One of the greatest feats by any filmmaker in the history of cinema, Herzog’s film pits personal ambition against the forces of nature as a man desires to build an opera house in the middle of the Amazon jungle.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972)

  • Herzog, Werner
  • 1972, Werner Herzog, West Germany
  • 4 Comments

Herzog brilliantly transports us to a bygone world and to the edge of madness as power and greed clash furiously with nature and survival in this great masterwork of 1970s German cinema.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
