FilmCouch #27

Origins of story: Interviewing Justin Evans about his new book soon to be a film, A Good and Happy Child. Rescue Dawn, Werner Herzog's new movie opened this week starring Christian Bale. We interview actor Jeremy Davies and producer Harry Knapp. It's the fictional portrayal of Dieter Dengler, the only man to escape a POW camp and be rescued during Vietnam. Herzog made a documentary on Dengler in 1997, Little Dieter Needs to Fly.

Re: FilmCouch #27

Can't wait for Rescue Dawn. Little Dieter Needs to Fly is fascinating.

Is this Herzog's first non-documentary since Invincible? That was my least favorite of his movies. Although I think Herzog considers all of his movies somewhere between fictional and documentary.

I've got some high hopes here.
