In Paradise, Man Casts No Shadow
This is my current obsession, though I'm not sure I can actually recommend it. I've since learned that the Region 1 equivalent has two extra films - Little Dieter Needs To Fly and his awesome Gulf War documentary Lessons of Darkness - as well as the complete, uncensored version of Even Dwarfs Started Small, which our beloved censors are still withholding around two and a half minutes from.
But the films are too good for me to dwell on this unpleasantness for too long.
"He has taken his camera to parts of the world no other director would dare to go, and told stories in ways no-one has ever considered. These five masterpieces, which blur the line between "fiction" and "documentary", illustrate why Werner Herzog is the most daring, visionary and dangerous film-maker of our lifetime"
For once, the blurb on the back of the box is entirely accurate. This is currently priced at about eighteen quid in HMV's World Cinema sale - personally, I'd pay that much for Fata Morgana alone, a film that strikes me as a revelatory experience and an expression of an artistic instinct and sensibility so great that it defies all attempts at synopsis or description. It also contains Heart of Glass, The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, Stroszek and the aforementioned Even Dwarfs Started Small. These films must be seen by every living human.
