Though he has long been admired for his rigorous and almost ritualistic approach to filmmaking, and while he has created a number of unforgettable narrative films, it is likely that Herzog will be remembered for his unique approach to documentary. In fact, in hindsight, what appeals most about his narrative films is the documentary elements -- where reality interjects itself. Consider Heart of Glass, for example: the narrative is interesting but obscure, but what is stunning is the document of an entire crew of non-actors, ordinary villagers, who have submitted to be filmed under hypnosis. Or take Stroszek.

But when he meets the beautiful bandit Venus (the luscious Claudia Cardinale), they launch a series of scandalous raids that rock the Parisian aristocracy. The most wanted man in France is about to discover that true love may be the most dangerous caper of all.
The great Phillipe de Broca co-wrote and directed this sumptuous and surprising adventure. No extras, but in this case, the movie is more than enough. Recommended.

For years now my favorite Luchino Visconti film has been "Ludwig". His grand sweeping epic. I've always felt that was his most ambitious film. True, Visconti has made other film that are great in their scope like "The Leopard", or "The Damned". But, none has touched me on such a personal level as "Ludwig", and then I saw this film. While, I admit, I don't think it's as grand as "Ludwig", "Rocco and his Brothers", is a powerful, emotional, saga.
Luchino Visconti is a director whom I've always had wonderful things to say about. He is one of my favorite directors of all time. And I always feel there is something to admire about all of his films, even those I may not be crazy about, I still found something good to say about them.
