Saw Herzog's new 3D docu 'Cave of Forgotten Dreams' last week. Highly recommended to any fan, epecially those who enjoyed Grizzly Man and Encounters... , it forms something of an unofficial 'nature & philosophy' trilogy with those two. There was a Q&A with him afterwards too, he's a very charming and engaging man. His next is going to be a docu following inmates on death row in their final months, weeks, and (literally) minutes. Fantastic!! He's also going to be lending himself & his voice to The Simpsons for an upcoming episode
Also got dragged along to Norwiegan Wood. I enjoyed it as a fan of Japanese drama, hadn't read the book though which is apparently every artsy girls wet dream. It was a very pretty film, but the story was let down simply due to the pacing of it. Not that I thought it was awfully slow, I love the way the Japanese seem to convey so much emotion in those long extended scenes with no dialogue at all. It seems to be a very telling feature in their greatest exports.
Paprika is superb. One of my favourite animes alongside FLCL and Eva
