Werner Herzog

Posted July 11, 2007

I found the footage of Werner Herzog eating his shoe in the spirit of keeping his bet with Morris, but while he isn’t choking down the leather, he has some very interesting things to say about television and the quest to provide adequate images for our culture.  Morris has most definitely found images of humanity in Gates of Heaven.  I’ll post this for everyone to see while I try to come up with something of weight to say about the film — I’m still sorting things out…as it is quite a different take on human relationships.

    Awesome find, I’m gonna be using this one very soon. I’ve heard a lot about it, but never thought to look on YouTube, thanks for this gem.
