The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner
Dir: Werner Herzog
1974
****
A short but sweet documentary about one of the greatest sportsman of our time; Walter Steiner. Even though this is a bit rough around the edges, bad editing doesn't really bother as a wave of euphoria takes over. I could watch Herzog's slow motion shots all day long. The lingering shots, the fascinating character, the unbelievable achievement, it's classic Herzog.
