And his famous last words were...

'Last Words' is Herzog's short film which he made during filming his first feature 'Signs of Life'. It is a story about solitary man who was forced to leave from small island where he had remain as sole occupant. Filmed like documentary the story is told through witnesses who don't have much to say, but repeating their only lines. It is a sad story that is told through absurd and peculiar humor in a way only Werner Herzog could manage. Funny, but sad. Few words, but much is said. Minimalistic, but interestingly touching.
