The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call

Werner Herzog is one of the world's greatest, and craziest, living directors. I can't imagine anyone else who would have even wanted to make a film like Fitzcarraldo, never mind be obsessive enough about it to nearly die trying, or to depict themselves listening on headphones to the sounds of someone being mauled by a bear, like in Grizzly Man.

Movie review: Encounters at the End of the World

Rating : * * * Verdict : Rambling but fascinating. With his newest venture, endlessly curious German chronicler of the offbeat Werner Herzog becomes the first person to have shot a film on each of the seven continents.

The Whales' Tale

"WE WANTED TO do it in the dark, and we wanted it to feel creepy." While that could be from any of a dozen Werner Herzog films, it's actually Freelance Whales' Judah Dadone describing his band's first public show, at the New York City Farm Colony, an abandoned 19th-century poorhouse crumbling away on the edge of Staten Island's Greenbelt.

Werner Herzog's modern Greek tragedy

Werner Herzog and David Lynch make quite a pair. Herzog, the German-born director of such films as "Fitzcarraldo," "Grizzly Man" and "Rescue Dawn," is a relentless adventurer and the master of external conflict, of man's desire to fling himself recklessly toward the void.

My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done Movie Review: Call Me Farouk

A title not to be mistaken as being addressed to the filmmaker by his skeptical dad in reaction to this movie, but maybe should be, My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done manages to come off as both baffling and mystifying at the same time.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

Abel Ferrara's cult favorite Bad Lieutenant was a Scorsese-style exercise in macho histrionics and tortured Catholicism; this Werner Herzog drama plays more like a dark comedy, powerfully alive to the relaxed morality and hothouse culture of its title town.
