  • this is from their appearance together on NPr talking about the cave paintings in France and in context, it's so funny and because Werner is a huge Cormac fan and tries more than once to let Cormac know how incredible he is and he's so awkward as Herzog says these things. There really is no reason for him to read from ATPH at this point or at all during the entire discussion.

  • Herzog has such an amazing and hypnotic voice. He should do more audio books. Anyone who has seen the short film Plastic Bag who better than Herzog to portray the soul of a plastic bag. I wil never look at one the same way again.

  • At some point in the very near future, we can feed enough recordings of Werner's voice into a computer, and then we can all enjoy the entire book of "Blood Meridian" as read by Herzog.

  • Fantastic! Is that the voice of Cormac Mccarthy at the very end of the clip??

  • The crickets and the rust-beetles scuttled among the nettles of the sage thicket. 'Vámonos, amigos,' he whispered, and threw the busted leather flintcraw over the loose weave of the saddlecock. And they rode on in the friscalating dusklight.

  • @breadbutt

    That moment in the movie is always hilarious.

  • Wow, like the finest dark chocolate, luxuriant bit with a harder bitterness. Beautiful

  • in my head, as i read blood meridian, i hear werner herzog narrating. this is what you have done to me.

  • They share themes in their work. It wouldn't be a mismatch seeing a film adaption of McCarthy by Herzog. But it does remain a dream of mine that it will happen.

  • You know, for some reason, I just find Herzog's voice kind of beautiful, with his light accent and almost musical cadence.

  • @hanshotfirst1138

    I absolutely agree. I pray for the day we can realistically synthesize voices so that I can have Herzog reading my eulogy.

  • Two of my favorite artists of all time. Great post. Thank you.

  • @msa1985 LOL

  • herzog is the greatest living comic.

  • This is was so awesome. I wish he would do "Blood Meridian" on tape.

  • @marazapan hell yes

  • Herzog is brilliant. His new film 'Cave Of Forgotten Dreams' is remarkable!

  • I could listen to Herzog read the phone book... And he's reading Cormac McCarthy! Amazing.

  • This is heroic.
