Errol Morris talks with Werner Herzog in The Believer

Posted by Maximum Fun on 5th March 2008

Morris on Herzog: “…what I do understand in his films is a kind of ecstatic absurdity, things that make you question the nature of reality, of the universe in which we live. We think we understand the world around us. We look at a Herzog film, and we think twice. And I always, always have revered that element. Ecstatic absurdity: it’s the confrontation with meaninglessness.”

OH SHIT, THESE DUDES ARE AWESOME DUDES.

Private to EM: Please make some more happy movies, the sad ones are freaking me the fuck out.
