Herzog back on form - Family Romance, LLC review by JR

Spoiler Alert
15/08/2022

Hooray! Werner Herzog is back to his best with this film. It is filmed by Herzog himself on a hand held camera, in public, the cast are all non actors. How Herzog gets such wonderful performances from non actors is so impressive. If the family member substitute business doesn't work out, Ishii could become an actor - he is outstanding. Contemporary life in Tokyo allows Herzog free rein to explore his recurring interests; the nature of post modern families, the burring of lines between reality and technology, automata, shaman. If all this sounds a bit heavy going, it is not. It is concise, fascinating, with moments of humour and powerful emotion and the less than ninety minutes fly by.
