my references for film thinking. I learn a lot from you.

As I said earlier, I was disappointed in "Encounters...". Of course there are elements about it I enjoyed. I was looking to being transported - as Herzog can do for me. It just didn't happen in my viewing.

If it is there, I missed the full measure of his sincerity and commitment to this movie. To me, it seemed more a "project" than a revelation of his best idea at this point in time. Thus, my remarks about the unmistakable hand of Henry Kaiser.

It will be interesting to know Herzog's own ruminations on this film. More important than any single film is the pleasure of watching his creative arc. He is one whose work I follow, and I forgive him his momentary errors. I can say the same for you. ;-)
