    It might take some getting used to the tone- Herzog is fascinated with one type of obsessed individual in particular, all of whom resemble Herzog himself in some sense. So I don’t take the documentary as any sort of parody.Report

  3. Notice how at the very end he says to his (now ex) wife Marte, “you are so sweet and obedient.”

    And notice how it appears someone’s pushing her on camera.Report
