Werner Herzog was as soon as shot throughout an interview. He as soon as pulled an enormous boat over a mountain. He as soon as ate a shoe after dropping a guess, and had it filmed for a film. He as soon as rescued Joaquin Phoenix from a automotive accident. He as soon as made a film the place all the forged carried out underneath hypnosis. He additionally just lately watched half-hour of Barbie, and he got here away with the right conclusion about Barbie Land.
