Herzog's Great Ecstasy of the Woodcarver Steiner


I have wanted to see this film again for 35 years! There is nothing like it. Does anyone know how to acquire a copy this film or how to petition the proprietors/copyright owners to release it in some form? Newyorker.com rents it on 16mm apparently but I can't imagine doing that. Any advice at all is appreciated.

Same here. Wanting to see it again after 30+ years. If anyone knows where to obtain a VHS or DVD copy in Canada, please let us know here. It is a really fantastic piece.

Some guy's been selling region-free DVDr copies on Ebay for some time now (quality is okay; I give it a B-) . Rumor is New Yorker video is set to release a proper region 1 DVD sometime this fall.


Nothing left except Clorox bottles and plastic fly swatters with red dots on them!
