Even Dwarfes Started Small (Auch Zwerge haben klein angefangen), W. Herzog, 1970, W. Germany, 96mins, 35mm PG

This must be Herzog's most controversial film. Set in an unidentified institution a rebelion has taken place and anarchy reigns supreme. The reason for the controversy is that the whole cast is made up of little people, which some find exploitative. But it is a fantastic film, exhilarating, compelling and joyful. A film about the wish to destroy everything as laugh your head off as order collapses. Not for the faint hearted. Not to be missed.

Thurs 15 Jan

Heart of Glass (Herz aus Glas), W.Herzog, 1976, W, Germany, 93mins, 35mm, PG

Truly a masterpiece and like all great works of art it is not easy. The story concerns a town in which the master glass maker is searching for the formula to make "ruby glass" which has been lost after the previous master died unexpectedly. The whole film, co-written by the extraordinary Herbert Achternbusch is richly steeped in alegory and a mythology unique to it's own universe. Herzog claims the cast performed all their scenes under hypnosis.

Stroszek, W. Herzog, 1977, W.Germany, 115mins, 35mm, 15

Bruno is an alcoholic. He walks out of jail into the first bar and immediately gets into trouble, He's a character worthy of Lars Von Trier's 'golden heart' trilogy, you immediately fall in love with his lack of affectation or ill will towards anybody. The film follows his search for the American dream and it's inevitable collapse. An utterly brilliant film.

Thurs 22 Jan

Fitzcarraldo, W.Herzog, 1982, W.Germany, 158mins, 35mm, 15

A Herzog season wouldn't be complete without at least one film starring the inimitable Klaus Kinski. In this film he plays an entrepreneur who, in order to raise the money necessary to build an opera house in the peruvian jungle, hatches a plan which involves dragging a paddle boat over a mountain. A spectacular feat which is accomplished on screen in one of the most frightening, spectacular acts of fearless megalomania you will ever see. Unforgettable

Fri 23 Jan Date To Be discussed... 'Burden of Dreams' and 'Werner Herzog Eats his Shoe'. 2 documentaries about Werner Herzog The first chronicles the making of Fitzcarraldo the second is about Werner Herzog making good on a bet with Errol Morris that if Morris completed his film 'Gates of Heaven' he (Herzog) would Eat His Shoe - he did this in 1980 at the Films' premiere.
