New From Werner Herzog!!

WHEEL OF TIME, 2003, 80 min. World-renowned filmmaker Werner Herzog (FITZCARRALDO, AGUIRRE THE WRATH OF GOD) returns with one of his most mysterious, thought-provoking and enlightening films yet, a documentary on the Dalai Lama and the spiritual devotion of hundreds of thousands of his followers. Herzog focuses on two mass gatherings of Buddhists – one in the mountains of India, the other at a convention center in a small Austrian town – where the Dalai Lama is scheduled to appear. But health problems may force him to cancel one of the appearances, adding an unforeseen element of chaos and suspense to the plans. Through interviews with the devout worshippers (some of whom have walked and crawled for years to reach the ceremony) and with the Dalai Lama himself, Herzog sketches a sometimes surreal, sometimes humorous, but always fascinating portrait of one of the major religious figures of our time.
