Incident at Loch Ness
Incident at Loch Ness chronicles two films in one. In the summer of 2003, Werner Herzog – everyone's favourite eccentric adventurer of modern filmmaking – set out to make a film about the infamous Loch Ness monster. In so doing he wished "to explore the origin and the necessity of the monster" rather than seeking the monster itself. At the same time a noted American filmmaker called Zak Penn embarked on his own documentary on the German filmmaker. What neither filmmaker could predict is that Herzog's film would never be completed and that, instead, the chaos that had animated many of his other productions would again materialise like never before. Incident at Loch Ness recounts the making (and unmaking) of Herzog's film and the aftermath of that fateful effort.
Reviews
“Razor sharp and funny as hell, Incident at Loch Ness is the harpoon hurled into the hot-air balloon of 'reality' entertainment.”
