Aguirre, the Wrath of God(1972)

7.5/10

dir. Werner Herzog

A-Tier

A-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Werner Herzog dragging a cast through the Amazon jungle, now in HDR. The behind-the-scenes stories are almost as famous as the film itself.

Nosferatu the Vampyre(1979)

7.3/10

dir. Werner Herzog

D-Tier

D-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Herzog's 1979 Nosferatu, and the transfer drama is real. BFI's version was criticized for heavy DNR, and BFI's response was basically "that's the transfer we got." Shout Factory did their own separate master, and collectors are cautiously optimistic based on their Aguirre 4K.

Fata Morgana(1972)

6.7/10

dir. Werner Herzog

Shot under extreme conditions and inspired by Mayan creation theory, the film contemplates the illusion of reality and the possibility of capturing for the camera something which is not there. It is about the mirages of nature—and the nature of mirage.
