Nice column about one of Germany’s very best directors: Werner Herzog:

Herzog’s new movie “Rescue Dawn” is a movie I’m very much looking forward to, because the director didn’t give in to the Hollywood studios. Instead, he made the film he really wanted to do. Herzog is well-known for undertaking nearly impossible projects in remote locations and with often complicated actors. This time he was filming on location again and he has a real star in his movie, namely Christian “Batman” “American Psycho” Bale.

“Rescue Dawn” is based on the true story of German-born Dieter Dengler, who made his way into the United States military, because he wanted to become a pilot, but who was then shot down over Vietnam and captured. Werner Herzog doesn’t shrink away from showing how horrific Dieter Dengler’s experience must have been.
