New post on Werner Herzog's voice, accent, mimics, and related matters:

My three favorite interviews of movie directors:
1. Journalist: "Could you elaborate?"
David Lynch: "No."
2. Journalist: "Many directors have a favorite type of camera to shoot with. Do you have a favorite?"
Werner Herzog: "No."
3. George Lucas: "Told you so..."
Okay, I made up the third one (but Lucas is thinking it very loudly these days, I'm afraid)

The only use of "AI" for me is to get almost clear voice (or instrument) samples.
Isolating drums (like the whole Amen Break) or this bit from #JackReacher (2012).

"There are dozens of imitators, but none of them has really caught my sound."
Werner Herzog on his voice and accent, in "Every Man for Himself and God Against All: A Memoir"
Werner Herzog on speaking with Lena, his wife and collaborator:
"We speak neither German nor Russian with each other because it has turned out that it is good for us to meet on a plane that is neither all hers nor all mine. It makes us both careful in a language that was originally neither of ours."
I expected to enjoy this – Conquest of the Useless was amazing – and it's hitting the mark. What a life he's led.

Die große Ekstase des Bildschnitzers Steiner [The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner] (1974)
In a film that is as much about Herzog as it is about Steiner, we follow the soft-spoken woodcarver in preparation of his definitive ski flight in Planica, Yugoslavia.

@ambivalena over the decades I watched all his movies and series, and so often did he capture those strange moments in life, where something entirely random and unexpected happens in the middle of otherwise entirely boring day-to-day, sometimes so strange that if you told someone they wouldn't believe you... he was good like that, honing in to the human condition and embedding it into his #wernerHerzog-like epic life stories, juxtaposing or overemphasising... and the original #Dune was also a special piece I loved :D

I give my thoughts on the latest Nosferatu and then get into Herzog's adaptation.

While Robert Egger's Nosferatu does look pretty, and I do plan to see it eventually.
But today, I think i'm going to stay in and watch #WernerHerzog 1979 adaption instead.
A few days ago, I saw an interview of Werner Herzog where he may have said the most Werner Herzog thing he's ever said in an interview:
Journalist: "Have you fallen in love with a camera before?"
Herzog: "No."
