I am glad that this piece clarifies that Klaus Kinski was only held at gunpoint metaphorically. Which would not have resulted in his murder, but instead his: "Harvesting."

I saw a spider jump out the sound hole and ran into my beard one time. No I didn't keep playing.

A German having some kind of complex regarding dark truths deserves some psychoanalyzing.

Freudian analysis is not terribly common on the psychotherapy scene in the US.

Young Herzog reading Heart Of Darkness and thinking "this sounds fun!"

I always thought of them as spies, updated versions of priests' confessionals, state sponsored. How refreshing Herzog is...

Damn this guy's really German.

I can keep listening to it for hours

Ahhh haha. I love this man. "They should be put on an island to analyse each other"

As we'd say in West Cork Bert Jansch didn't lick off a stone.

I like swedish folk music, thank you for giving us these songs, so folkish!

This one's a bit scattered, awfully scattered, a scattered composition 🎶

I didn't know he was such an idiot :D

Superb, with this day and age this video has universal applicability! ❤ Vingul

variations of it have popped up unfortunately, in the form of non-rigorous "statistics"

I totally understand Herzog's logic (being a fan of his films helps to understand even more of what he's saying here!). Still, of course, he's looking at psychoanalysis with the "at its worst" measuring stick: at its worst, all a psychologist does is make a patient talk about their worst trauma over and over, without real improvement, just mulling over and over (almost like reliving it at the moment) during the therapy session. That's when "the light that shines bright all through the house", as Herzog expressed, doesn't really help anybody. But that's because there are different types of therapy that can help overcome trauma without using the traditional Freudian method (EMDR therapy, for example) and psychoanalysis is not a "for everyone" solution, no matter what some therapists might about it. But, at its best, the psychoanalysis session is very close to being that famous "talking cure" they originally called it, because it helps a person simply by letting them talk about their issues, doubts, etc. And just that, to be able to sit with someone for an hour or so, and talk about what's happening inside our minds, is an ENORMOUS help to realize that at least half of the things we have coursing through our brain -or more- are merely products of our self-doubt, our imagination, our paranoia or our crooked way of looking at the world through a solitary perception. At its best, psychoanalysis also helps anyone to feel less alone, contained (at least in part), maybe even safe... because it really helps so many people to "get out" of their own labyrinth of a mind once in a while, and look at things in another perspective... and if you can't look, at least you are heard (a luxury not everyone has in our current times) by someone. Is not for everyone, as I've said, but it helps (and sometimes saves) a lot of people from drowning in the darkness of their own minds... and that's always a good thing because sometimes the darkness is too much for a single "house of the mind" and you DEFINITELY need some light in some corners, just not all of them. My dear and admired Werner Herzog can say this and so much more about psychoanalysis because he deals with his inner darkness, thoughts, and interests through art and films. And to me, that is perfect enough just for him. But for the rest of the people on the planet who are NOT a master filmmaker or artistic genius like Herzog, sometimes a good therapy (traditional or otherwise) is worth a lot, and it is helpful like you wouldn't believe it.

The fact that people look into psychology when they want to elevate themselves makes life a real tragedy. People used to open bible to reveal truth, or to know ones meaning through a journey into the inner world. Religous and spiritual expriences and so on. Now everyone talks about serotonin and shite which explains nothing at all.

Psychology/psychoanalysis’ solution is just liberalism lmao

If you're here and you're posting about how actually, you've been very helped by your psychologist, I think that's great, go ahead and continue that, carefully. There's a very fine line between understanding how the abuse you endured affects you so that you might put an end to the cycle, and staring so deeply into the abyss between the cracks of your own broken pieces that you don't even realize you've fallen between them. Werner strikes me as the kind of person who is fully aware of how dangerous the edge can be. An artist who possessed the presence of mind to anchor himself before peering over.

Now THIS is a TripAdvisor review

absolutely gorgeous reading !🥇

Why iam not able to like this video..... the button is blocked??😢

yes bu t you can turn the lights off

6:55 Playing this if I was guilty but got proven "innocent"

I don't know, but I think there are more and more psychoanalysts, just as there are more and more "clients". Do they study the soul or "colonize" the soul?

Except that most modern psychological thought owes an enormous debt to Freud and the sensitivity with which he asked key questions about the way humans think, feel, and develop. Anyone would be a better critic of his conclusions (many of which Freud himself changed his mind about) if they were better read about the field of psychoanalysis. MAny comments here betray a deep lack of understanding and awareness of the field and its history. I'd recommend reading Steven Mitchell's "Freud and Beyond" as an accessible primer on PA thought.

Spoken like a guy who doesn't make movies starring himself psychoanalyzing humans, chickens, and the rainforest. Oh and bears.

Wow!

this has nothing to do with Handel. it's a theme after which the variations should ensue. the music was composed by Corelli and called "Follia"

Modern day therapy completely ruined my self-esteem and self worth and nearly my life. I have seen counselors since I was 8 years old and I am 29 now. They DO NOT have a “fix” or any way of overcoming the obstacles one faces. It’s all platitudes. Therapists just want a power trip, an easy pay check or both. I absolutely turn off my emotions now when I think of the whole mental health system.

Sorry, at the end he didn't come back. But he has, and will be, as you said, the greatest filmmaker in our time.

He's absolutely right. Every person is labeled, categorized, and reduced to a psychopathological subject. You must be put through the meat grinder of the medical industrial complex. Lifelong meds, "disorders", dependency, and genuflection to their high priests. It's no different than a cult.

Sounds like someone who's got much to hide. Let's analyze that.

all wrong and basically stupid thoughts probably butthurt because there's something wrong with him so he's shooting the messenger

See ‘The Triumph of the Therapeutic’ by Phillip Rieff for a brilliant deep dive into why psychoanalysis is a cult-like disease of modernity.

This honestly just aounds like he has a grudge. Like Psychological professionals can be complete fucking tools, but thats every feild. "You cant illuminate every corner of the human soul." Thats medieval peasant brain shit. There is no soul to illuminate. People are writing down how other people feel and cross referencing it. Theres more to it, but there's no goddamn esoteric anything. It makes you personally uncomfortable, who cares?

There’s a reason the rapists are therapists.

nice

@vingul from your own description - ‘Also, try not to psychologise Herzog in the comments on the basis of this video. Many people have beat you to it + it's a silly thing to do’. So why upload this video, Vingul? You’re obviously only trying to engage in rage bait, which is simply a toxic thing to do.

People need to remember that this bloke makes movies. That’s all. He’s not a doctor, he’s not a scientist, he’s not doing cancer research. He makes films. Why would anyone give his opinion about the medical profession any more credence than you would give a GP about their opinion about how a DOP would choose a lens for a static wide shot on film?
