Because You Demanded it:Poster of the Day

KLAUS!

Everyone should pick up Herzog's new book "Conquest of the Useless," his 1979 diary of the making of this movie.

KLAUS!

Click to enlarge, you won't be sorry. This is a huge poster, Kinski's head is bigger than lifesize.

KLAUS!

Poster of the Day

Click to enlarge...French 4-sheet for "Herz aus Glas," or "Heart of Glass" in English (whence Debbie Harry copped the song title, by the way) or "Coeur de Verre" in French. This is the one where WH hypnotized much of the cast in order to get a dreamy feel. I've never seen this one, I'm sorry to say.

Next: KLAUS!

Poster of the Day

Click as always to enlarge. I picked up this four sheet in Paris sometime in the early eighties. It's enormous and I have no place to hang it but someday I'll get all these framed (more to come). This is for the French release of "Stroszek," starring Bruno S. (hence the title "La Ballade de Bruno"), one of my favorites of all time. Shot mostly in Eddie Gein's hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin! Apparently Herzog and Errol Morris hatched a scheme during the shoot to dig up Eddie's mother, a plan that came to nought.
And music by Chet Atkins and Sonny Terry!
