My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done
When I hear that David Lynch and Werner Herzog have teamed up on a film I get excited. In fact it doesn’t matter what the film is about, it could be a documentary about worms and I would want to see it. However, of course its more compelling than that – the plot apparently goes like this: “Inspired by a true crime, a man begins to experience mystifying events that lead him to slay his mother with a sword.”
The cast is great, including stalwart actors Willem Defoe, Micheal Shannon, Brad Dourif, Grace Zabriske and Chloë Sevigny. Why do Herzog’s films keep being released with zero buzz – luckily someone (Jason) told me about his film from last year The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans starring Nick Cage.
Anyway, here is the opening minutes of this film that comes out on DVD this month, please forgive the short ad in the video it is not my doing:
