Incident at Loch Ness
Boorman’s Deliverance ends the way this begins.
Herzog
on “ecstatic truth”, a kind of poetic justice.
Pre-production
dinner (cp. Eastwood’s White Hunter
Black Heart).
Herzog
at Pink’s.
Inverness
Airport, where the portal reads, “NORCOM... Welcome to the Highlands”,
an odd echo of Frankenheimer’s Seven
Days in May.
John Bailey’s
Herzog in Wonderland (only the digital
camera survives, and the crew).
Herzog’s The Enigma of Loch Ness, an abandoned
production.
The Spielberg
parody is very grand (Jeff Goldblum is a dinner guest).
Herzog’s
producer is apt to remind one of Gavin MacLeod in Blake Edwards’ The Party.
“And I only
am escaped alone to tell thee.”
