Herzog's films are not much seen in the U.S. these days, but the venerable International Film Series at the University of Colorado will screen the sixty-year-old director's latest, called Invincible, this Saturday and Sunday at 7 and 9:30 p.m. in Muenzinger Auditorium on the CU-Boulder campus.
Featuring a real-life strongman, Jouko Ahola, it's the story of a blacksmith in a tiny Polish village who's lured to the big city by a wily German theatrical agent. There he finds himself in the employ of an alleged psychic who dreams of becoming -- what else? -- Adolf Hitler's minister of the occult. Released in 2001, Invincible attracted scant attention on this side of the Atlantic. For the Herzog faithful, here's a rare chance to see new work from the director of Fata Morgana, Stroszek, and Every Man for Himself and God Against All.
