Reply to comment by jesusismagic in Lessons of Darkness (1995) - In 1991, retreating Iraqi armies set fire to hundreds of oil wells in Kuwait, creating a hell on earth. Werner Herzog explores this nightmare world, and the people who existed within it. [00:54:12] by _volkerball_

There is definitely something about his voice! Hypnotic, like you said. Somehow soothing and stilted, unintentionally quirky… Once you’ve heard it, you can’t unhear it. It is a feast for the ears! I love it.

“The harmony of overwhelming and collective murder” is an all time classic Herzog quote.

So damn German. I love it.
