That Szabo trilogy of Maria Brandauer is a must-watch, this, Mephisto and Col. Redl.

Remembered that Hanussen also features in Herzog's Invincible. Not WH in peak form (whatever that means), but there's a trademark Herzogian dialogue about prince-rooster in the beginning. (No wonder Deleuze loved him so much and called him the most metaphysical cinema director.)pic.twitter.com/W5A8WYbCsB

Herzog is just Herzog, which is not bad necessarily but he always bring his goddamn artistic sensibilities to the fold instead of trying to soften them by the very subject he approaches. Szabo's version is the only version you need to watch.

Great definition. But then also Hitchcock is just Hitchcock and so on. But I certainly agree that certain subjects need someone, something else.

Hitchcock is very different though. His UK movies, his Hollywood movies and the later works like Frenzy are extremely different in tone, style, etc.

Actually Hitchcock is a good example of an impersonal director, soulless as Bergman once put it which I absolutely love. Herzog is just full of beautiful soul which makes me nauseous.

But so are Fitzcarraldo and Bad Lieutenant, for example, don't you think so? It's also true that the times change and same/similar methods can have very different effects. Metaphysical becomes sth cynical/pathetic... Certainly wouldn't reduce Herzog to a beautiful soul tho.

Fitzcarraldo is great but I can't believe you mentioned Bad Lieutenant on my twitter. Disrespectful really lol. Not only compared to Ferrara's version but also in itself is a shitshow even for intended farcical reasons.

But that's Herzog now, right? Or are you talking about Wenders, lol? For me Wenders was always this beautiful soul and Herzog something completely else.
