Another offering from the clubs director of choice 'Werner Herzog'.
In a nutshell : 'Incarcerated dwarfs run riot'
This is without doubt one of the strangest, yet most intriguing films I have ever watched.
The film raises lots of questions and by the end not many have been answered. We were all struck by the obvious lack of scripting or direction involved. The best way to capture 'dwarfs going mad in a prison' - is undoubtedly to stick a load of dwarfs in a prison and ask them to 'go mad'. .. you get the impression that Werner didn’t foresee that they would start throwing live chickens at each other but decided 'hey - keep rolling'
There are so many hilarious moments in this film - my favourite being the 'wedding party' made from a collection of petrified insects. The beetle wearing a top hat still makes me smile as does the grasshopper in a veil.
Its got to be seen to be believed - so see it and believe it !
