This is Herzog's most telling film.

The world he has created sees dwarfs confined in an un-named, oppressive system. When they finally revolt against the machine, they don't know what to do with themselves and ultimately resort to destroying the things around them (cars, trees, animals).

Bizarre, beautiful, and horrifically engaging, this is a unique experience that demands your full attention.

Give it a go (the ANCHOR BAY DVD even has audio commentary from Herzog!!) - you won't be disappointed.
