    Edit
    The story of a solitary man who refuses to leave a Greek island (at one time a leper colony) is told by a strange variety of characters who don't have much to say except to repeat their tellings over and over again. But the person who has the final word on the matter, the lonely character himself, may not explain anything about his personal reasons for not abandoning the place. —Rodrigo Amaro

    4 shorts from Herzog
    Last Words (1967)

    ** (out of 4)

    Another Werner Herzog short, this one I'm guessing was meant to be some sort of spoof about people and their last words but none of it is all that funny.

    Herakles (1960)

    ** (out of 4)

    Werner Herzog's first film is about a young man who works out hoping to become very muscular one day. Nothing too interesting here.

    Unprecedented Defence of the Fortress Deutschkreutz, The (1966)

    ** (out of 4)

    Herzog spoof of war and soldiers and the thoughts that creep into ones mind. There are a few funny jokes but again, nothing too interesting.

    Precautions About Fanatics (1969)

    ** 1/2 (out of 4)

    Herzog short is just one running gag about a fanatic at a race horse. A few laughs.
