wow this sounds quality I would love to do some shit like this ! inspiring stuff and hopefully some good films will come out of it n all. Nice to see mr meadows is a fan of herzog/kinski but yeah i reckon the ones he made with bruno s. are some of his best work, his documentarys from the 70s are really good aswell. Herzog has a good thing of like realism/surrealism that people were talking about on here the last time i read it. I thought his recent narrative type films like rescue dawn sucked tho but the one he made with david lynch recently looks pretty interesting on the trailer . Anyone who digs herzog should check some of fassbinder's pictures n all cos they are along similar lines (ie dark german 70s shit) and i think he made a lot of his films in a 5 day features style way to boot, some of em are really terrible as a result tho but its interesting stuff nonetheless

Only films that have been monitored by ourselves, whether that be with full funding, some production assistance or by simply having the 5DF representative on the shoot, can become part of the 5DF movement. Otherwise how can we ever know how much time has really been spent on something. OIC. I've been wondering how it would be proven. Cheers. Interesting stuff. How do you become a 5DF representative? Sounds like a great job, hanging around watching people make a film for 5 days! |

Umph....well that rules me out then.....why is it that all these rules favour the boy eh? I got a Herzog box set off Amazon a little while back for only £9! Doesn't have Stroysek in it, but some great films. Haven't gotten around to watching Acquirre yet, but looking forward to it. Nosferatu is my favourite (seen this before mind). Still like the original a little bit more, but it is great  Plus contains the best line ever stolen by The League of Gentleman 'The absence of love is the most abject pain'  Loved Fitzcarraldo too-what a brilliant story and amazing character. |

Stroszek is on of the most depressing things I've ever seen! It's no wonder Ian Curtis did himself in after watching it.. The Bad Lieutenant film he directed is out this year, really looking forward to it. The first trailer for his Bad LT film looked awful but some people I know have seen it and speak really high of it. I'm really looking forward to checking it out now. New York Press website says Neveldine/Taylor trumps Herzog. ;D
Herzog trades his usual interest in outrageous real-life exploits for the hysteria of Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. He remakes Abel Ferrara’s 1992 Harvey Keitel film into a drama about the psychosis haunting New Orleans that no Hurricane Katrina doc has dared show. Watching Nicolas Cage’s take on Keitel’s role reveals Herzog’s motive: Cage’s sociopathic cop represents modern moral chaos. Man’s fall focuses Herzog’s fascination with the universe’s anarchy and the result is often unexpectedly comical—as when Cage teams with a drug dealer (Xzibit) in a war against disquieted (break-dancing) souls.The cop’s romance with a prostitute (Eva Mendes) and love for his family counters his junkie’s desperation. Cage’s receding hairline and hunchback performance evokes Conrad Veidt—a Klaus Kinski-like maniac—because this is, in fact, a German Expressionist horror film and comedy. Herzog’s wobbly tone reflects William Finkelstein’s unstable script.This oddball vision feels awkward after Neveldine-Taylor’s extraordinary Crank 2: High Voltage, an action sequel that ramps-up the culture of over-stimulation. Its bizarre, disorienting satire of action-movie ruthlessness outpaces Herzog.www.nypress.com/article-20617-precious-moments.htmlNot seen the new Bad Lieutenant, but I can't see that statement being wrong! haha |

I've not seen the BAD LT flick, either but you've got to hand it to that reviewer: there aren't many critics who would make that kind of comparison without fear of being made a laughing stock. Fair play to him! It annoys me when reviewers write-off off films like CRANK 2 without reason. I don't have a problem with critics who pick apart something I like so long as they can articulate their argument well. Those who slate something without making a sound point should be permanently barred from writing about films!
