Summary:
"The
Great
Ecstasy
of the
Sculptor
Steiner
: Undoubtedly the greatest sports film -- although calling it a sports film is a bit like calling The Seventh Seal a chess film -- this lyrical documentary is about Walter
Steiner
, a Swiss
wood
carver and champion ski jumper.
Herzog
's presence in the film as a low-key but passionately involved commentator is a measure of his intense identification with this unique man who is compelled to take his creative impulse to the absolute limit.
How
Much
Wood
Would
A
Woodchuck
Chuck
: Set in the Amish region of Pennsylvania's Lancaster County, this off-beat documentary on the annual World Championship of Livestock Auctioneers chronicles a lively spectacle: bidders and their secret signals, splendid beasts up for auction, a colorful audience, and conversations in archaic German with the Amish folk. Best of all are the high-speed incantations of the auctioneers showing a language both zany and beautiful.
La
Soufrière
: In 1976, scientists predicted a volcano eruption that
would
destroy Guadeloupe. The island was evacuated; the newspapers reported that one man refused to leave.
Herzog
immediately arrived with a small crew in order to be on hand for the end. This fascinating study of imminent disaster and the man 'who stays' is one of
Herzog
's major works."--Container.
