Review of My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done (2010) by Dagmar D — 11 Dec 2009

After being a so-so fan of Herzog for many years, watching most of his works at my convenience but never fully being.

Enveloped in his art, I was slightly surprised when I found.

Myself still sitting in my TIFF theater seat long after the credits stopped rolling.

After One and a half hours of pure Herzogian bliss I can.

Finally say I got it. Finally I was able to look through the eyes of this Bavarian wonder. At least I think I was.

You never really know with this guy. but I liked it. A lot.

I don't want to go into details about the story, or even it's characters. That you must find out your-selves.

To me this is the first Herzog feature film in a long time that really works. And I believe He knows it to.

A quirky, stunning visual with classic tones of madness.

A masterpiece.

IFC is screening it in NY.

Hopefully it'll get at least a few screens here on the left coast as well.
