My wife reminded me of this treasure of a video we saw a long time ago. This is part of a documentary that was filmed along side a movie he was filming in the Peruvian jungles.
He had decided he was to capture the insanity of a man, so he literally drove his leading man insane. In the process of filming this legendary movie, he had to deal with all sorts of problems. Tribes fighting each other, lack of food, animal attacks, you name it. But, he was determined to make it out.
This four minute video is not supposed to be funny, yet I can't stop from laughing every time I watch it.
His two-tone vocal performance alongside the heavy accent make this a sort of masterpiece in my book.
I was incredibly surprised to find out he's also the man behind Grizzly Man. A documentary film that follows a crazy man who thinks he's got a special connection with the bears, only to get eaten in the end.
He was recently interviewed in 60 minutes. More details about his early projects get shared here. I laughed again, more so because his German powers have only gotten better as he's aged.
I love the fact he's getting the recognition he deserves while he's still alive- not a common thing these days.
Opinionated as a man can possibly be. I'll leave you with one more video. A peek into his unusual way of thinking.
Put all the psychoanalysts on an Island, he says.
That's an idea.
