I have tried to watch Documentary Now in the past but never found it funny. However, I could not resist the lure of Skarsgard doing Herzog. What a treat.
This was funny and smart (for a change). I was even able to tolerate the thankfully brief appearance of Fred Armisen who I really can't handle in most things. He does not appeal to me at all. I could stomach Portlandia because it was so specific and well-written with Carrie(!) but not anything else.
Anyway, Herzog is one of a kind and I love the spoof of his films and persona. Not sure how this episode would land with people not already familiar with "Grizzly Man" or "Fitzcarraldo", not to mention "Burden of Dreams."
Then there's Skarsgard who I love in his oddball roles where is good looks are in retreat. Check out episode 1 of Becoming a God in Central Florida. He was fab. He is versatile and game. Love it.
Nice to see Diehl and well. So, many great German actors. Would love to see Lars Eidinger in Doc Now episode but he kind of creates his own chaos anyway.
