Madman. Not in the actual, mental-health related sense

Madman. Not in the actual, mental-health related sense of the word, mind you, but still – a cinematic madman. The story of how he ate his own shoe cemented me in thinking that Werner Herzog is what would happen if David Lynch was German. His love and concern for cinema is almost palpable trough this film, across space and more than four decades of time. His idea about the lack of adequate images for our kind of civilization id thoroughly intriguing, even if based on a kind of snobbish dislike of modern American pop-culture (just like Lynch). And as to the movie itself: it has about it the air of almost a amateur family vacation type of film-making, but at the same time it makes interesting points about Herzog's decisions by the art of selection. Still, it was not quite as I expected. I hoped, perhaps naively, that it will resemble a cooking show and will present more technicalities about the whole affair. Part of me still believes that "Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe" would be better as a cooking show...
