Herzog picks a good nice comic tender bizarre and even ordinary theme: Speedy speaking auctioneers. There´s one in "Stroszek", there are a lot here. Good text.

So simple in elements and so difficult to film in saharian countries. Herzog hasn't found the relation between effort and results yet. We have to wait to Aguirre and Kaspar Hauser.

Moving in a strange way. The boy is so intense that you wanna kill him and then embrace his stupidity. Kyla is the mystery in the film, and remains so in the too sad end.

Not conceived as a vehicle for Elvis, but it was anyway. And he sings forced in time and scenery (even Love me tender is based in an ancient melody). Debra and Egan command teh sexy western pace and story.

It has his momments, surtout when SL defies his own limits (his dog's death) but there´s the meeting of same kind of freaks (Warhol just by mail). The balance is ok.

As estructured as Salgados' life, form his commitment to social painful potos too ecological ones, and his project on reforestation.

Not a political film, but without emphasis yo can feel the absurd new ways on a traditional moslm town. Sissako 'commits' too poetic scenes as the football match without a ball, but I tolerate them.

Even it's not, you can feel some kind of sequel to 'Kaspar Hauser'. Not only because of Bruno S, but the spirit of his carácter in the old and new world.

One of the most adventurous Herzg's work, a kind of war correspondant work; but when hi forgets it, the documentarist takes his right place.

Great carácter Gesualdo and goo idea to have a quintet of voices performing his Works; but too simple in production, leaving every explanations to experts not well edited.
