werner herzog in harmony korine’s ‘mister lonely’
“We here, in the broken nation, are tired and bruised. We’ve been left here alone with nothing. We’ve been abandoned. We’re like vomit in the street outside of a seedy bar. We’ve been relegated to the bottom of the barrel, and all our senses of understanding and love seem gone forever. In order to survive here we have to become like animals and we have to forego all sense of civility and understanding. How is it possible that a nun can fly? How is it possible that she falls out of a plane and lands unscathed? But who are we? Who are we to scoff at such things? Who are we to doubt such miracles? Alas, we we are but tramps in the gutter here in the broken nation. But a little faith can take us a long, long way. If you’re pure enough, if you believe enough…sisters believe me, you will fly. God will be your parachute. You will experience the miracle I have felt.”
werner herzog is taking applications for a new ‘rogue film school’ for this next semester, summer 2010
“The Rogue Film School is not for the faint-hearted; it is for those who have travelled on foot, who have worked as bouncers in sex clubs or as wardens in a lunatic asylum, for those who are willing to learn about lockpicking or forging shooting permits in countries not favoring their projects. In short: for those who have a sense for poetry. For those who are pilgrims. For those who can tell a story to four year old children and hold their attention. For those who have a fire burning within. For those who have a dream.” – Werner Herzog
