How Much Wood Does A Woodchuck Chuck? / Ballad Of The Little Soldier
HOW MUCH WOOD... (1976) Deep in Pennsylvania Amish country, it's a fast-talker's Duel of the Titans as cattle auctioneers from around the country go for their championship, their nonstop dizzying spiels spiralling into "one of the most eccentric concert films of all time" (Christopher Long).
BALLAD OF THE LITTLE SOLDIER (1984, Herzog and Denis Reichle) Pre-pubescent Nicaraguan Contras recount their experiences fighting on the front lines. "Among the best work he's ever done... Mr. Herzog is scaling the peaks of his own, very personal cinema." - Vincent Canby, NY Times. Plus LAST WORDS (1967) A Greek islander withdrawing from life.
