Summary Even dwarfs started small: The inmates have taken over an institution in a bleak and savage world in which everyone's a dwarf. Never one to take the easy path, Werner Herzog followed the success of his first feature with a film that shocked, disturbed and enraged critics and audiences around the world, yet whose influence can still be seen today in the works of filmmakers such as David Lynch and Harmony Korine. Featuring a cast composed entirely of little people, Even dwarfs started small is a brutal, uncompromising allegory about the consequences of imprisonment and rebellion.
Land of silence and darkness: A documentary about 56-year-old Fini Straubinger, blind and deaf since her teens.
Fata morgana: Herzog brings his cameras to the Sahara desert in order to film mirages. He combines the apocalyptic, often hallucinatory images of the desert with passages from the Mayan creation myth, the Popol Vuh, set to songs of Leonard Cohen.
Aguirre, the wrath of God: A band of Spanish conquistadors are sent by Pizarro to go up the Amazon in search of gold. As the soldiers and two women battle starvation, Indians, the forces of nature and each other, Don Lope de Aguirre (the self-styled "Wrath of God") is consumed by visions of conquering all of South America and leads a revolt, but Aguirre's megalomania turns the expedition into a death trip.
The enigma of Kasper Hauser: Based on a real historical event, this is the story of Kaspar Hauser, a young man who appeared in a small German town in 1820 after having lived in total isolation from humans since birth. He is taught to speak, read, and write by townspeople, but is then mysteriously murdered.
Heart of glass: Set in the 18th-century, this film tells of a Bavarian village that loses the secret of making its unique ruby glass. The townspeople turn to madness, murder, and magic in a desperate effort to recover the pure ingredient they have lost. During the filming, Herzog hypnotized his actors in order to help convey the atmosphere of hallucination, prophecy and the visionary.
Stroszek: Bruno Stroszek is released from prison and warned to stop drinking. He has few skills and fewer expectations: with a glockenspiel and an accordion, he ekes out a living as a street musician. He befriends Eva, a prostitute down on her luck. After they are harried and beaten by the thugs who have been Eva's pimps, they join Bruno's neighbor, Scheitz, an elderly eccentric, when he leaves Germany to live in Wisconsin.
Woyzeck: A soldier is driven into madness by his superiors, his wife and his doctors.
Nosferatu, the vampire: The vampire, Count Orlock, craves blood but also contact, acceptance, and love from humanity.
Fitzcarraldo: Story of a man obsessed with a dream to build his own personal opera house in a remote Peruvian town.
Ballad of the little soldier: Portrait of Nicaragua's Miskito Indian tribe who were persecuted by the Somoza regime and then fought the Sandinistas with guerrilla units composed largely of children.
Where the green ants dream: Lance Hackett is a sympathetic geologist working in Australia for an uranium mining company who must confront the passive resistance of the aborigine tribes. For the aboriginal people, the place where the deposits lay is considered the place "where the green ants dream" and for them this place is considered the origin of all life. In the clash with white imperialism, we see the irrevocable tragedy of false progress, in which civilization has lost touch with nature and the universe.
Lessons of darkness: A documentary of 1992 post-Gulf War Kuwait, focusing on the oil well fires ignited by retreating Iraqi soldiers.
Little Dieter needs to fly: Growing up in post-WWII Germany, all Dieter Dengler, the son of a Nazi slain during the war, dreamed about was becoming a pilot. At age 18 he emigrated to the United States and worked odd jobs until he was accepted into the Navy and began pilot training. He was sent to Vietnam around 1966 and on his first mission was shot down and taken prisoner. There, the Vietcong tortured him until Dengler engineered a hair-raising escape and eventually returned to the U.S. His story is recounted here via interviews with Dengler, archival footage and new footage seamlessly spliced together.
Cobra verde: Francisco Manoel da Silva, 19th century, gun-toting Brazilian bandit known as the Cobra Verde, is unknowingly hired by the owner of a sugar plantation to keep his slaves in check, but instead, the Cobra manages to sleep with the landowner's daughters and impregnate them. In revenge, the owner sends the Cobra on a dangerous mission to sail to the West coast of Africa and reopen the slave trade, and the Cobra wages war with a local tribal king.
My best fiend: Documentary with film excerpts about the stormy relationship between frequent artistic partners, director Werner Herzog and actor Klaus Kinski.
