Werner Herzog has come to save us from our summer doldrums. The German auteur's latest, Rescue Dawn, is the best film to hit theaters during this popcorn-overloaded season, and I was fortunate enough to speak to the director for SOMA magazine - in person - about his latest work, Transformers, the state of documentary filmmaking, and his ongoing search for "ecstatic truth."
As is always the case with SOMA's site, the below link will simply get you to the main content page. From there, select the article.
Independence Man (SOMA magazine)
Well Nick, that must have been a thrill to meet Werner!
Only that he just keeps on repeating the same things over and over. His observations are important but for a fan like me it sometimes sounds like a broken record.

Markus,
Yeah, meeting Herzog in person was something else.
And you're right - since meeting him and writing the piece over a month ago, it seems like many other articles have contained very similar quotes.
