Summary: Wow
Review: On my top ten list now. Incredible. I can't get that monkey out of my brain - squeek - or that little man's maniacal laugh. Probably not for all tastes. The commentary with Herzog and Cripsin Glover is funny and very revealing into the nightmares that haunt Herzog himself. What was he thinking about here?

Summary: Genius
Review: There is nothing I love more than a dwarf, after he has simply torn his world to pieces, laughing at a defecating camel for five minutes and then coughing because he laughed too hard.Did you know? Werner Herzog promised that at the end of the film he would jump into some cactus to show that he understood the pain he was subjecting the cast to. He did this.

Summary: Perfect
Review: This has to be one of the most wonderful films ever made. It rivals Citizen Kane and the Wizard of Oz. What you walk away with from the film is a revitalization of spirit and a newfound, if not shortly lived, lack of inhibition. Everyone that I've recommended this film to has loved it and has learned to laugh at simple things like a camel pooping in the desert and a 3 foot tall man arguing with a tree. P.S. This film is about a group of insane German dwarfs somewhere in South or Central America who overtake their asylum and go nutz. Uproarious!

Summary: Midgets on the loose
Review: This is a good film that is definitely something you WON'T see anywhere else. The imagery alone sets it apart -- a prison rebellion led by some rather vicious, and many times comical midgets, forces you to keep watching. A really great performance by the midget Helmut Döring aka Hombre. Some parts will disturb you, some will leave you holding your ribs from the uncontrollable laughter (if you're into little people harassing other blind little people, hotwiring cars etc. hehe) Definitely worth the watch because of its one-of-a-kindness.

Summary: VERY strange indeed
Review: This is a very, very, very bizarre film indeed, there is not much I can add to that, it is funny( but, should it be? ) and it's very different to anything out there, if you want to enjoy an easier film with more dwarves than you have ever seen, running riot then watch "Under The Rainbow" !
But it is a very interesting film to say the least.

Review: This one is a keeper . . . a warm, family movie for those cold wintery nights when your extended family is staying over for the holidays. This and a few 30 packs of Natural Ice Lights makes for great family fun.

Summary: Even Dwarfs Started Small
Review: Very disturbing film which gains in stature after re-viewing with the director Herzog's commentary. As depressing as the film is, there is a lot of humor in it. Herzog's obvious love for and delight with his cast shines through. Crispin Glover's contribution is minimal and a little puzzling. This is a special film and if you are just now looking to get into Herzog's work this is really not the place to start. On DVD try Fitzcarraldo.

Summary: incredible film
Review: werner herzog is a difficult director and he doesn't let the audience off easy. while a film like 'aguirre' is enjoyable on a surface level films like 'dwarves' require further thought. when i first saw this film i wasn't really into it but after listening to the commentary, seeing a few more of herzog's films and reading a book about him i appreciate what he is doing. the images and ideas that werner herzog commits to film are from a special place and anyone who has heard of the fantastic stories surrounding the production of a film like "fitzcaraldo" can see herzog's devotion to his art. in a profession filled with creativity and eccentricity herzog towers above all as a true oddity. this reputation has resulted in his ability to make films that are far from digestible for over 30 years. his talent and powerful personality make him worthy of attention and appreciation.

Summary: A bitter metaphor!
Review: Werner Herzog made a superb and original work with this weird complex and struggling movie .
A dwarf population live in a camp closely watched for the Status Q guardians .
Herzog is merciless when he watchs meticulously the simple fact of drinking water . All the countless to put in eloquent images a normal event which becomes a real odyssey to them .
Slow but progressively the inner tension will be increasing till the expected consequences literally will become in a rebelion .
They will declare the no rules state and the mess will prevail all along the rage and wildness you can imagine . All the demons will get out from the lower depths of their soul and his cruel attack will be focused specially to all issue considered of relative height .
In the last powerful and awful sequence you will watch the sadism in its purest and sincere expression . The laughs will be the obvious sustitute for the pain .
Herzog began his unorthodox artistic career with this strong visually picture in 1969 . If you are a real fan of this brilliant german director and feverish follower of his golden creative years , this would be the first one for you to watch .
One of my favorite cult movies of the sixties !
