Werner Herzog Collection [UK Release] [5 Full DVDs] [2005]

This collection highlights the eclectic career of German Filmmaker Werner Herzog. Includes THE ENIGMA OF KASPAR HAUSER, EVEN DWARFS STARTED SMALL, FATA MORGANA, HEART OF GLASS and STROZSEK.




Never one to take the easy path, Werner Herzog followed the success of his first feature, the award-winning SIGNS OF LIFE (1968), with a film that shocked, disturbed and enraged critics and audiences around the world yet those influence can still be seen today in filmmakers like David Lynch and Harmony Korine. Featuring a cast composed entirely of little people (the first time that had been done since the 1938 western. THE TERROR OF TINY TOWN), EVEN DWARVES STARTED SMALL is a brutal, uncompromising allegory about the consequences of imprisonment and rebellion. The inmates have taken over an institution in a bleak and savage world in which everyone’s a dwarf. As one of the institution’s directors holds a rebel hostage while issuing orders for calm, the other inmates run amok, smashing equipment, setting fires, fighting for power and tormenting two blind prisoners. In this land of reversed proportions, these revolutionary outcasts not only destroy the symbols of civilization – cars, typewriters and dinner plates – but trees and flowers and animals as well. In this world gone mad with violence, the chickens resort to cannibalism, and monkeys are crucified

In one of the strangest and most mesmerizing films ever made, world - renowned director Werner Herzog bring his cameras to the Sahara desert in order to film mirages.

But Fata Morgana (literally, "mirage") is much more than that - as Herzog combines the apocalyptic, often hallucinatory images he discovered in the desert (plane wreckage, exotic beasts, and one of the oddest musical acts ever filmed) qith passages from the Mayan creation myth, transforming a simple trick of the light into what he calls "a science-fiction elegy of demented colonialism".

In 1828, as if out of nowhere, a youngman appeared in Nurember's town square.He had no history, spoke only a few words and couldnot stand upright. Having been locked in a basement for 17 years, Kaspar Hauser was more beast than man.

Who was he and where did he come from?

Despite attempts by townsfolk to understand and civilize him, Kaspar became little more than a sideshow attraction.And though the mistery of his origins remained unanswered, perhaps the biggest question of all was, why did someone want him dead?
Based on a true story, Werner Herzog's poignant, often funny and unforgettable tale of "the enigma of the century" -punctuated by a brilliant performance by Bruno S.- will haunt viewers forever.
