Werner Herzog Gets Shot and Eats His Shoe

July 18, 2008

Here’s a clip of Werner Herzog getting shot during an interview with Mark Kermode. He seems to take it all in astonishingly good spirits. I like the Herzogian (?) poigniancy at the timing of the shooting, just after he says ‘Nobody cares about my films.’ WARNING: When showing the bullet wound he reveals some pretty swish purple boxer shorts.

And here’s a longer clip (20mins) of Werner eating his shoe. Don’t worry, he’s doing it for a perfectly good reason.
