For some reason, I thought this would in some manner be a hiatus in Herzog's directing career and that the film would be a down-to-earth, matter-of-factish documentary. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a typical Herzog film, as always with the protagonist (in this case Kinski) balancing on the edge of insanity and the overall atmosphere of the movie ending up to be very strange. It has fewer of the flaws(?) found in the earlier Herzog movies. However, the entire movie was dubbed into English even on my subtitled version. It turned out fine, but seemed a little unnecessary. In sum, Herzog fans shouldn't miss this one.
