Werner Herzog @ McNally Jackson Books | Friday, June 26, 7PM
Official: Visionary filmmaker Werner Herzog stands out as one of contemporary cinema's true auteurs, and his Fitzcarraldo, for which he won the Outstanding Director Prize at 1982's Cannes Film Festival, is widely regarded as a masterpiece. In Conquest of the Useless, Herzog shares the journals he kept during the grueling Fitzcarraldo shoot in the Amazon rainforest. Far from a traditional "making of" account, this gripping narrative unfolds in an impressionistic fashion, providing glimpses of what Herzog calls "interior landscapes, born of the delirium of the jungle." The celebrated director, writer, and producer will discuss his work and sign books.
McNally Jackson Books is located at 52 Prince Street between Lafayette and Mulberry. Closest subways are 6 to Spring, R to Prince, or B/D/F/V to Broadway/Lafayette.

Here's what you should do. Go and listen to his spiel and then ask if he's lost his mind making a sequel of a film that is an unbeatable legend. If his answer is unsatisfactory, you are to rip off your shirt and moan loudly. Look him in the eye. You're the only man for the job.
is bad lieutenant even really that good?
WHAT?
It is one of the best films of the 90's by any measure, in any country on the planet. Leave that goddamn place, head to Kim's and pick it up right now!
