Two Sisters in Sync: Herzog’s Bucking Fastard Debuts at Venice

At Venice, Werner Herzog promotes Bucking Fastard, a bold sex-comedy–picaresque starring Kate and Rooney Mara as nearly identical twins, with their uncanny on-screen synchronicity achieved by singing together. Herzog explains why the film is in competition, praises his leads, and discusses his ongoing work and a close, if sometimes distant, relationship with David Lynch, to whom the film is dedicated. He also weighs in on AI in cinema, criticizing AI-generated projects as mimicry he won’t participate in, while suggesting AI could handle repetitive tasks; he remains creatively active, finishing new projects and curating a photo book from his career.

Mara Sisters Sync Up with Werner Herzog in Bucking Fastard Venice Premiere

Herzog Unites Mara Sisters for a Unison-Fueled Venice Premiere

Werner Herzog's Bucking Fastard, his first fiction since 2019, premieres at Venice with Kate and Rooney Mara playing sisters who speak and move in unison; the concept, inspired by real twins and greenlit after producer Jeremy Thomas suggested pairing the Mara sisters, was written in five days and financed by Clara Wu Tsai. Orlando Bloom co-stars as the sisters' love interest, and Herzog runs a fast-paced production with minimal rehearsals, even handling the clapboard. A climactic scene features a real deer in an Irish cave, underscoring Herzog's commitment to practical effects, and the film is dedicated to David Lynch.

Herzog’s 6K IMAX Return to the Cave of Forgotten Dreams

Werner Herzog’s 2010 documentary Cave of Forgotten Dreams is getting a new IMAX release with a 6K restoration and new Atmos sound, after a five-year, shot-by-shot rebuild of the film’s footage. The restoration improves brightness, color, and the immersive 3D experience, leveraging upgraded technology that wasn’t available during the original production, which faced extreme low-light conditions and a tiny crew in the Chauvet Cave. The film will premiere in IMAX mid-April before a nationwide arthouse rollout, with Herzog citing ongoing projects (including Bucking Fastard and a Bong Joon Ho voice role) as he continues to stay prolific at 83. Restoration producer James Stewart notes the work aimed to make the cave’s art endure for the next 30,000 years.

"Werner Herzog's Take on 'Barbie': A Sheer Hell or Sheer Brilliance?"

Werner Herzog shared his initial thoughts on "Barbie" during a segment on "Piers Morgan: Uncensored," suggesting that the film might be "sheer hell." However, he admitted to only watching the first half hour and expressed a desire to see the entire 154-minute runtime before forming a definitive opinion. Herzog's comments sparked enthusiasm from Morgan, who also found the film to be "hell" after watching it in full. The director's stance mirrors that of Oliver Stone, who initially criticized the movie but later praised its originality and themes after viewing it. Despite mixed opinions, "Barbie" received eight Oscar nominations, including a Best Picture nod.
