What a great film. Really quite challenging, but once you accept what Herzog is trying to do and let it wash over you rather than search for meaning or narrative focus it feels like being in a trance (like the majority of his cast).
Much like my experience with Fata Morgana as soon as the DVD finished I immediately started it again from the beginning and watched it through with Herzog's commentary track to hear some of his insights into his methods and his intentions. If you have the chance I strongly recommend a listen to the track - in fact all of his commentary tracks - they are illuminating and fascinating, and certainly in this case also very funny.
I have massive respect for Herzog as a highly intelligent man creating something different in cinema, but also as a straight forward entertainer and story teller. He's a fascinating man to listen to. His comment near the end of the film that in his opinion all directors should have supplementary skills like being able to milk a cow, forge a document or break into a car made me laugh a lot.
