Some people have been very shitty about Mr Demme-it's not fair. It's obvious he's a fan and a bit in awe. We all know WH can talk for hour after mesmerising hour but this interview is great fun.
+Matthew Rocca IMHO I don't think you can even compare the two. Demme's movies are ridiculous contrivances, like B movies, to me, he's not even in the same league as Herzog.
jude999: Well to be fair, I've only seen one of each of their films in its entirety: Herzog's "Nosferatu" and Demme's "Silence of the Lambs". In my opinion, both films are equals in their artistry, iconic visuals, complex performances, and the sublime horror and beauty they evoke. However I would have to see more of each directors' work to properly compare them.
Do you like Paul Thomas Anderson's work? If you do, know that Demme was his biggest influence and hero. Also; i would not call movies like Stop Making Sernse, Swimming to Cambodia, Melvin and Howard, Something Wild, Silence of the Lambs, B Movies. Yes, he is no Herzog. But who is (other then Herzog himself)...
Thank god for people like Roger Ebert to truly recognize a person’s efforts and obstacles. If I received a letter like that, I think I would die happy.
There's a lot of hate for Demme here, what gives? I mean of course he isn't in the same league as Herzog, who is one of the greatest of all time, but still, Demme is a very accomplished and respectable film maker.
Demme was brilliant, a prolific, empathetic, and gifted director. His use of close-ups is still awe-inspiring and influential on some of this generation's filmmakers.
It's incredible to see these magnificent directors talk about cinema, and how their careers have progressed through their films. I'm a fan of Herzog's movies, in fact, during Pandemic, my mom, and I were watching Aguirre the wrath of God, Fitzcarraldo, and Cobra Verde, starring Klaus Kinski who was important for Herzog's career as a filmmaker. Two of them made a great friendship, although they were about to kill each other, while shooting Aguirre the wrath of God.
One day youtube will implement the moron filter : comments / replies by trolls you mark as such will no longer spoil your experience . One day . That's about the time it would take to implement such a feature . So maybe tomorrow :o)
myself as a starting out filmmaker, I would never have thought of bragging on my own films. It's very easy to think that when you see these great directors talking about how great this or that film of their own was, that they are expressing braggaddoccio. But then you realize how large of a production a film is, how big of a team, and in reality is giving credit where credit is due and praising his performers and the members of his crew for the magnificent job *they did on the piece they made together. That's an essential part of being a director-- is demanding exactly the very best, and then praising your team when they give it to you.
Io ringrazio Herzogh perché ha esaudito il mio pensiero di ragazzino ..... Quando vedevo Kinsky recitare in film mediocri ... Ed io pensavo: questo attore è eccezionale... Diverso da tutti ..... Grazie a te tutti ora lo sanno ..... Kinsky il più intenso ed inquietante in assoluto

Always enjoyed Herzog's films and his interviews and conversations about them. What bugs me about him (which has nothing to do with Werner by the way) are the sheer number of deadbeats on Twitter who've pretended to be him for years, which is thankfully now coming to an end (because they now all have to label themselves as parodies).
18:07 In Bavaria (München auf Deutsch) not far from the Austrian (Österreich) known for Adolf Hitler, Arnold Schwarzenegger, GLOCK 9 mm pistols, KTM (KRONREIF TRUNKENPOLZ MATTIGHOFEN) motorcycles and MOZART, Salzburg.
"Amazing film, amazing film! Another masterpiece!" (under his breath) "But that's just what we've come to expect with you." If I was Herzog I would be wanting to make a BAD FILM just to surprise everybody lol
love it how everyone laughs when he says "i would never produce a movie for youtube" and three years later exact same thing happens with riddley scott... he is eccentric but hes hardly a fool
"Those who do not know of your work, and the work of your comrades in the independent film world are missing experiences that might shake and inspire them" Thank you Rick and Morty?
“A good soldier of cinema,” he called Roger Ebert. Nicely put. Demme, however, strikes me as somewhat fawning. What I really like about Herzog, besides his movies, is his honesty.
jonathan demme was extremely west coast, hollywood, seeming spacey, flakey and not giving a sh-t. that is why he comes off bad in this. but it is just what hollywood is like
Jonathan Demme is NOT NEEDED for this interview/monologue by Herzog. Herzog stands alone. Is it possible to find his EQUAL for an actual interview that would actually complement the intelligence/experience of Herzog? NOT Demme.
+birddogfreemann i think you're mistaken... what demme is doing is providing the guiding for the herzog monologue and he does it very well... its significant because it comes from an outside listener, meaning someone more close to the view of the audience who is at the same time well versed in herzogs filmography... he never takes over the interview which is a mark of a great of interviewer... also notice the dynamic questioning... for example the part about the teacher that made him sing, herzog cuts in with that story right after demme wanted to ask something that came out of the previous dialog, he instead lets him and the instantly questions him about that.. and there are numerous accounts of it... for me at least that is some clever interviewing
At the very least, in a brief, one to two sentence statement, you could justify your comment, Juan. It is not entirely clear which comment was "stupid" nor do you substantiate it. Unlike you, svenlittlecross has enough intelligence to construct a well-thought response to my comment. But maybe this is asking too much from you. Perhaps, you can define and defend "stupid" within the context of Jonathan Demme and/or Werner Herzog. You've arrived late to the party, Juan. Are you a Herzog fan? Or what? I still maintain Jonathan Demme is unnecessary. Even in the first brief moments, Herzog needs to contextualize why Jonathan Demme is reading a letter by Roger Ebert. Did we really need Demme to read a letter by Ebert about Herzog?! Demme is NOT in Herzog's class of film makers.
herzog himself in this interview says that the scariest movie he's seen is SILENCE OF THE LAMBS directed by JONATHAN DEMME.....insanely. huge. compliment....Demme is a legend sit down haters

What an awkwardly sweet moment, when Herzog unexpectedly compliments Demme, and the latter's cheeks redden immediately. Such a great moment for cinema
He blushed like a schoolgirl. Great directors
I've seen many Herzog interviews. This is one of the few where he really opens up.
Demme is just humbled and moved deeply by Herzog's compliment. For lovers of cinema and the brilliant men behind them this is a beautiful moment.
nobody-- no artist-- knows how to respond when somebody tells them their work is disturbing, even if purposefully and marvelously disturbing
Women make movies too

Herzog just might be the World's Most Interesting Man.
oh the WMIM title? how did I miss this as it's what I think as well and good to be on what that I agree on thought bot
I think it's awesome to see not one but TWO greats in the same interview. Thanks for uploading this!

Demme wipes away his tears from harsh TH-cam comments using a handkerchief he keeps on his Best Director Oscar.
Demme was brilliant, a prolific, empathetic, and gifted director. His use of close-ups is still awe-inspiring and influential on some of this generation's filmmakers.
there are movies who can't even aspire to be as good as the videoclips Demme did
Demme films are just as good if not better
Who in their right mind would hate Demme??
One of the best recorded interviews - or better said, conversations - I've come upon with the great WH.
One of the best director interviews ever. Now I must go & learn the hearts of men :)

What a great exchange
I want to see more just like this
I will pray for America. Please pray for me. God Bless you.
RIP Joanathan Demme, great interivew...Anyone bad talking about him here has never made a film.
I wasn't aware there was anything bad to say about Jonathan?

Excellent interview all around.
Werner Herzog is an artist to his marrow.
Such energetic conversation!

Jesus, watch one fucking video about Werner Herzog slagging off chickens, and suddenly my Recommendations are like 95% Herzog-related.
That's the YT Algorhythm in a nutshell
wonderful interview
Jonathan was so fucking sweet person. He will always be in my heart.
always.
Demme, RestWellWhereEverYouAre
Beautiful talk.
He’s such a gangsta 🙏
He is Just the best man forever! So great!

Would somebody be so kind to let me know at what time he talks about the music teacher incident?

Were you asking it for real?

Oh, ok. Wasn't sure, but thought I'd help anyway.
So basically, a bomb fell, blew up a window, and left behind broken glass and Werner Herzog.

those darned noisy Italians with their chianti, singing their songs!
Rescue Dawn was horrible. I was peaking as a Bale and Herzog fan at the time. It lacked Herzog's usual
magic
Leave it for a while, look at it again later. I also found the movie rather mediocre the first time.
If you don't understand the heart of man, you're not a filmmaker
Good thing he didn't say anything about understanding women
not everybody speaks English or French, but everybody speaks money
“A good soldier of cinema,” he called Roger Ebert.
Nicely put.

What I really like about Herzog, besides his movies, is his honesty.
Herzog is God. Fawning is acceptable.
The interviewer sounds like he is eating cookie dough the whole time. "mmmm, yeah."
robotpanda77 by the interviewer you mean one of the best horror directors of modern times?

I mean the guy who loves cookie dough.
