No One Will Play with Me. Precautions Against Fanatics. Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe. Just the titles of the films Werner Herzog has been associated with entice you with an inkling of what this German filmmaker is like.

But it could also be called Werner Herzog Returns to the Jungle.

Titles he wears proudly. I interviewed Waters back in 1997 when he was re-releasing Pink Flamingos.
Hairspray
Lady Chatterley
Lady Chatterley (opening July 20 at Landmarks La Jolla Village) may mark the first time the scandalous D.H. Lawrence novel has been adapted to the screen by a female director.
