Nosferatu with Werner Herzog - Hollywood Berlin

A legendary director noted for his uncompromising passion, Werner Herzog joins Carsey-Wolf Center Director Patrice Petro for a discussion about his 1979 film “Nosferatu The Vampyre” which he says is a tribute to the classic 1922 film "Nosferatu” by F.W. Murnau. Herzog also discusses his career and the film’s significance as a bridge to the masterworks of interwar cinema. Recorded on 10/12/2017. [12/2017] [Show ID: 33062]

    Go watch 17:55 he said the whole reason he did his own version is because he wanted to humanize the vampire character of Dracula - not just have him be an evil soul less monster like he was in the original but he wanted to make a vampire character of Dracula more human like on the inside with actual depth and emotion and desire. 😅 So that part shows he actually does analyze the characters 😝 so when it gets to 32:00 he just means that he doesn't believe in OVER analyzing movies because he's a film maker not a film critic. 😖

    I watch Herzog interviews on KZread because of his honesty, wry humor and for being so articulate. It’s refreshing to hear a famous person in the arts tell an interviewer, without missing a beat, that she (in this case) is wrong in her presumptions about his work. About 22 minutes in she kills all momentum by running her mouth for about five minutes straight. Give me a break. On top of that she’s humorless.

    i watch/listen to mr herzog due to the raw opium deliciousness of his voice. the whole aural package- his actual, sedate, meandering and often animated monotonic sound, his impeccable, occasionally mesmerizing delivery, the epic language of his inspirations-cum-realizations and his awesome ability to thoroughly absorb, experience and then reflect any subject he has a genuine interest in w/ the ability, skill and professional expertise of persons exhibiting their crafts at the utter pinnacle of their inherent and clearly- on some if not many levels- perfected/perfecting forms. this cat- who is and seems effortlessly always at his best- is and shall remain an enormous light in the constellation that is humanity at IT'S best. and he is goddamned hilarious. this chick is an enormous tad bit arrogant, bloviating in such a cheap and canned way as well. to the master about his work no less. an odd onomatopoeia to her- tsk-tsk-tsk. sorry. can one bloviate on a keyboard? i do if so.

    Judging by how often Herzog had to correct the host on what his intentions were on a variety of topics, it appears that she is very unprepared or unable to understand who Werner Herzog is. Also, arguing with the guest is so inappropriate. If Herzog has a certain view on things, you do not correct him, you leave it 'as is'.

    I think she is over prepared. She should throw her notes away and ask real questions. Her problem is she is over confident, she thinks she is more intelligent than she is, she assumes she understands everything already. She should quit making statements and start asking questions, first she should get some humility and understand she does not understand everything, she should begin to listen.

    She is reading her questions from her notes. It sounds rehearsed and fake. She should just allow the conversation to lead itself instead of using prepared questions. She doesn't seem to even understand his answers completely. I can't be certain if it is because she truly doesn't understand what Herzog is saying or if she is ignoring his answers and just continuing with the prepared questions in her notes. She is doing the viewers a great disservice. Herzog has a lot to say and this could be so much better without her notes ruining it.

    Questioner (at 43:32): The journey that happens in making a film is quite often the point of a project… Werner Herzog: No. No. No. No. No! It’s the most unimportant of all. The only thing that counts is what you see on the screen. You see, ‘exploring your boundaries…’ What a stupidity is that? And you see it among these extreme mountain climbers and the triple triathlon and all this nonsense that you see around you. You see it on television you see them on talk shows. I’m NOT one of those. I’m not one of those. I’m just a quiet soldier of cinema.

    Herzog is an amazing talent and film maker, it's always a pleasure to hear him speak his mind and this is as usual a great talk/interview although I must say I was a bit annoyed with the interviewer having to interject feminism and her steering of the conversation in that particular direction as if "female agency" is some novel. revolutionary idea that must be pointed out and elaborated on at any and every opportunity possible, it has gotten pretty old and stale at this point.

This discussion was great. Get over yourself. Witnessing a minor disagreement isn't the end of the world. Of course Herzog is going to disagree with traditional ideas about film interpretation, you have to expect that. That doesn't mean the interviewee is some kind of evil villain.

    What a terrible mis-match between Herzog, the interviewer and the audience. She's over-intellectualising Herzog's films, which he clearly resists. He even mocks her, but she presses on. She inserts a mini-lecture in one of her "questions". It sounds preposterous, and Herzog seems to think so too. And what an obnoxious audience, and I'm not only referring to the fool he gets everything wrong. The audience laughs inappropriately at points where Herzog is clearly serious. I know audiences like this, always laughing at things that aren't funny because they don't understand and want to signal that they do (or think they do).
