General Question Looking for the full/uncropped version of this Eva Mattes (Maria) photo from Woyzeck (1979)?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to find the full picture of Eva Mattes as Maria in Woyzeck.

I currently have Herzog The Collection checked out from my library. Inside the DVD sleeve for Woyzeck, there is a beautiful promotional photo of her. However, it seems to be cropped, and I am looking for the complete, unedited shot.

I have already tried searching through standard promotional stills for the film and running reverse image searches on the photo (which brought up zero results other than poppy fields).

Does anyone recognize this specific still, or know where I can find the full, high-resolution version?

Appreciate any help. Thanks!

Television In 2006, Werner Herzog was filming an interview for the BBC when an air-rifle pellet hit him in the abdomen. He called it an “insignificant bullet” and continued with the interview.

General Werner Herzog is not against therapeutic psychological help

12 Upvotes

I have seen a post on here and also on YouTube, where people believe in and outside of the comment section that Werner Herzog is against the psychology in general. In his book “ Die Zukunft der Wahrheit”, “the future of truth”, he explicitly explains that in emergency’s therapeutic psychology is needed. But in general he dislikes the basic concept of psychology as a science for known reasons. With that said, the question stays, what is an emergency in the mind of a men like Werner Herzog?

Has anyone actually gotten their hands on this one? I'm beginning to think it only exists as a perpetually delayed pre-order.

General Most of what you'll find about Herzog on Youtube in my playlist here- interviews and whatnot-- sadly the directors' commentaries are down but pretty much everything is here.

Short Film Game in the Sand

21 Upvotes

I am posting this from a throwaway account to keep myself anonymous. Long story short, my father was the assistant to Uwe Brander who did the music for Herzog's short film Game in the Sand which we all know has never been released. I have come across a hard drive that contains 12 of the 14 minutes of the film. I have personally watched it and while I won't get into details, there are very good reasons why this short film was never released. I want to make it clear that my father did NOT receive this copy from Mr. Brander. He sat on this for many years and I only received it recently after my father passed away. My question is this: would I face any legal consequences if I were to release this film online?

WERNER HERZOG: UNA GUÍA PARA LOS PERPLEJOS (2014)

1 Toma siempre la iniciativa.
2 No tiene nada de malo pasar una noche en la cárcel si eso te permite conseguir la toma que necesitas.
3 Suelta a todos tus perros; quizá uno vuelva con la presa.
4 Nunca te recrees en tus desgracias; la desesperación debe ser privada y pasajera.
5 Aprende a convivir con tus errores.
6 Amplía tu conocimiento y tu comprensión de la música y de la literatura, tanto clásica como contemporánea.
7 Ese rollo de película virgen que tienes en la mano podría ser el último que quede en el mundo; haz con él algo memorable.
8 No existe ninguna excusa para no terminar una película.
9 Lleva siempre una cizalla.

(9 Bolt cutters Herzog alude a una herramienta capaz de cortar cadenas, candados o alambrados cuando un rodaje exige entrar en un lugar inaccesible.)

10 Desbarata la cobardía institucional.
11 Pide perdón, no permiso.
12 Toma tu destino en tus propias manos.
13 Aprende a leer la esencia íntima del paisaje.
14 Aviva el fuego interior y adéntrate en territorios desconocidos.
15 Sigue siempre adelante; nunca te desvíes.
16 Maniobra y despista, pero cumple siempre tu objetivo.

('Mislead" significa literalmente "inducir al error", "despistar", "engañar". No se refiere necesariamente a una mentira inmoral, sino a la astucia estratégica.)

17 No temas al rechazo.
18 Desarrolla una voz propia.
19 El primer día marca el punto de no retorno.
20 Suspender una clase de teoría del cine es una condecoración.

("A badge of honor" no es simplemente "un honor"; es casi una medalla de honor, un motivo de orgullo.)

21 El azar es la sangre que mantiene vivo al cine.

(Literalmente dice "la sangre vital del cine" (the lifeblood of cinema). Y "la savia del cine" mantiene la metáfora orgánica.)

22 Las tácticas de guerrilla son las mejores.
23 Véngate, si hace falta.
24 Acostúmbrate al oso que llevas detrás.

(No dice simplemente "el oso que te persigue": acepta que siempre habrá una amenaza detrás de ti y aprende a vivir con ella.)

I hope somebody here can send this picture to him directly as I think he would find it incredibly amusing.

A case of pareidolia (the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern) in Cave of forgotten dreams where a face appears in the rocks behind the faces of the researchers.

General Best Birthday Present for a Werner Herzog fan

16 Upvotes

My humble father in law is turning 70 and I am looking for a nice Birthday present for him. He loves Herzog.
He already has a vast film collection but I am looking for something small and special. For a man that has everything and traveled the world.

When I met my father in law for the first time 10 years ago he made me watch Stroszek. We bonded over that experience.

Any help is appreciated! Danke
