SPIRIT OF HOUDINI LIVES ON

SPIRIT OF HOUDINI LIVES ON


Werner Herzog, for our money, is the embodiment of Houdini's fearless spirit. This video clip is Herzog's first on-camera interview in America.  You will quickly understand why his motto is: "Always carry bolt cutters!"

(The segment from Fitzcarraldo, referenced in the video, is missing. So we're attaching a summer bonus to this post - the entire film, Herzog's first fiction masterpiece, in the clip below!)

We've written about how Herzog contributed to our own film about Jerry Andrus. And how - like Houdini proved at his death - his art was more dear to him than his own life.

The timeless message of Houdini, of Herzog, of Fitzcarraldo, is more than the escape from bondage. It is the overcoming of fear. Take a deep breath and prepare to be blown away.
