My Son, My Son...



The new film by WERNER HERZOG (currently playing at NYC's IFC Center) is called MY SON, MY SON, WHAT HAVE YE DONE? and is produced by DAVID LYNCH. It is a pleasure to see HERZOG's classic desperate man blues mixed with a dash of LYNCHian absurd poetry.

This, one of my favorite scenes, is a good example of the film's off-handed style, and leads toward one of many transcendent moments offered within.
