Ten Minutes Older: The Trumpet

In defense of Herzog

I&apos;m a big Herzog fan. Thought I&apos;d search the web on &quot;Ten Minutes Older&quot; before I bought the DVD. Found the solitary review on this site and in particular the comments made about Herzog. They were so harsh I felt I should search for more reviews. Honestly, I&apos;ve never seen anything Werner Herzog has done that wasn&apos;t unique, interesting etc.

Here&apos;s a snip from another site about Herzog&apos;s segment. This way, folks like me (who might otherwise run in horror) have a balanced view.

The third short, Werner Herzog&apos;s Ten Thousand Years Older [69], is a fascinating mini-documentary which examines the discovery of what might perhaps be the last lost tribe. Set in the Amazon, the film epitomizes Herzog&apos;s willingness to go to the ends of the earth to demonstrate his attitudes about civilization&apos;s debilitating effects on nature. Genuine tension arises in scenes such as the one showing the tribe&apos;s first contact with modern man, in which a native threatens to spy the hidden camera recording the event. When Herzog tells us that these few minutes of contact with the modern world led to the tribe&apos;s demise, the film suddenly shifts into a sadder, but no less interesting mode. Time jumps forward twenty years, and the effects of the modern world are made apparent. Even if it&apos;s not one Herzog&apos;s best works, it&apos;s undeniably an excellent piece of movie-making.
