		<description><![CDATA[The Dark Glow of the Mountains (1984), suffers from limitations imposed by its subject: the effort of two daredevil climbers to scale two difficult mountains back-to-back, without a break in between. They describe this as something never done before and much more dangerous than climbing one peak. The aesthetic problem, though, is that the available [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(This piece was presented as lecture to a general audienceÂ at the Seattle Art Museum following a screening of Aguirre, the Wrath of God. I left it as is, so it might feel more spoken than written, which was the original idea.) Near the end of Grizzly Man, Werner Herzog&#8217;s amazing documentary about a man who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I first saw Rescue Dawnâ€”in fact, when I saw the preview trailerâ€”I said to myself, Aha! After a whole generation, hereâ€™s another green film from Werner Herzog. Herzog has made a lot of remarkable films. But so long is the reach of Aguirre, Wrath of God and Fitzcarraldo, and so profound their visual stamp, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[Originally published in The Informer, January 1983] &#8220;The project fell through, but the idea was a bold one.&#8221; The story of Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald&#8217;s lifeâ€”perhaps his epitaphâ€”is writ large very near the beginning of Fitzcarraldo, by his own loving Molly. Fitzcarraldo is in a recursive nightmare: To bring opera to Iquitos, he must have money; [...]]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://parallax-view.org/?p=2801</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Even when he made Stroszek (1978), Herzogâ€™s work had reflected parallel interests in documentary and narrative fiction forms. The sublime Fata Morgana (1971) (despite Herzogâ€™s preposterous claim that it is a sci-fi film about an intergalactic war) and the wonderfully perverse Even Dwarfs Started Small (1970), almost as much as the explicitly documentary Land of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Werner Herzog seemed to court risks, artistic and personal. Heart of Glass (1976), may be his most ambitious, stylized, and explicitly allegorical film, and seems in retrospect to mark the point where his relentless risk-taking overreached his limits. Heart of Glass in conventional terms is a failure, ponderous, stilted, overwhelmingly pretentious, but one that still [...]]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://parallax-view.org/?p=2805</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Land of Silence and Darkness (1971) was Herzog&#8217;s first feature-length documentary (his previous feature, Fata Morgana [1971] begs to be classed as a metaphysical documentary, but by Herzog&#8217;s daffy description, is sci-fi). The subject matter, the struggle for human communication, is such a natural for Herzog that in some ways the film is quintessential early [...]]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://parallax-view.org/?p=2798</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Herzogâ€™s Even Dwarfs Started Small (1970) stands out as one of his most singular films. It has virtually no story-line (&#8220;dwarfs raise hell&#8221; probably exhausts the subject) and its harsh tone seems to confront its audience, aggressively demanding some kind of response. Even the title seems a kind of challenge: why the word &#8220;even,&#8221; which [...]]]></description>
