Herzog

I shouldn't make movies anymore. I should go to a lunatic asylum.
- Werner Herzog during the making of Fitzcarraldo
Werner Herzog must be my favorite insane director. Which I mean in the nicest possible way. In this New York Times slideshow, he talks about the making of his new movie, Rescue Dawn. Christian Bale does his whole Machinist radical weight-loss thing again. Tangentially, I like the simple elegant design the NYT uses for its slideshow, too.
