By all great respect, Francis Ford Coppola also financed his "Apocalypse Now" fully by himself.
-
I think the editing on this video is kind of... Off...

@GreenshirtMr1023 oh! good to know it, hehe... irony is really difficult on the internets.

@Dagarvs Yes, I saw Burden of Dreams before I saw Fitzcarraldo, and the gradual disintegration of Herzog to where he doubts if he will make another film is evident throughout. I was making a modest joke.

@GreenshirtMr1023 Herzog said, during the filming, that he didn't know what he would do next, as he was unfit for directing people and films. people got killed, people were attacked.. and then there's Kinski insulting the locals by not wanting to drink out of their bowl without it being washed first. how Fitzcarraldo differs from Herzog becomes unclear in the documentary Burden of Dreams.

I can't believe he made that comment about being in war! That does not seem like something he would say.. these TIME interviews really get the ego going I'm sure, but that was insane.
-
"Was there ever a point where you thought, 'I shouldn't be making this film?'" Herzog should have said, "Directing's not for pussies, you wouldn't understand."
-
@DoubleTalkingJive agree 100%. He should have directed Apocalypse Now.

What happened to his "schnurrbart" the handle bar moustache?

The last 45 seconds of this video are proof positive that Werner Herzog is one of the great visionaries of cinema, as well as one of the bravest.
9 out of 10 filmmakers walk away when they run out of money. Herzog just willed it through just like he's done his whole career!
