Even Dwarves Start Small
One of Werner Herzog's lesser known films and last night post-footy entertainment. I can't believe some of the images from this Bunuelesque (I'm thinking Viridiana) movie haven't been appropriated by more mainstream media. Not exactly haunting but extremely memorable visually. It came as part of a 5DVD package for £12 which includes Kaspar Hauser , Fata Morgana and Stroszek.

You can't tell us this and not give examples!!
Well there's the scene where the two blind dwarves who appear to be wearing flying goggles stand six feet apart and flail at each other with their 3ft white canes and the endeing when Hombre (that's him revving the motorbike)laughs hysterically at a camel trying to stand up and lie down for several minutes.Not to mention the chicken throwing.
Reminds me of the dream I had last night. Except it was Donald Pleasance on a scooter.
Sounds very much like a Herzog - I'll offer it up as a pre-match treat for JJ on Sunday!!
It's probably the only film to watch if you want see Crouch in a less comical light.
