INTO THE ABYSS: A TALE OF DEATH, A TALE OF LIFE Internationally acclaimed filmmaker Werner Herzog turns a keen and understanding eye to the fates of two men who destroyed their lives, and those of others, by a senseless triple murder. He gazes into the abyss of the human soul as he lets the two – one of whom will be executed eight days after the interview – sketch their version of the events. “A poignant, lyrical documentary that ranks among the director’s finest and leaves the viewer with plenty to reflect upon and digest,” wrote Screen Daily.
DEATH ROW In this four-part series produced at the same time as Werner Herzog’s documentary “Into the Abyss,” the internationally renowned filmmaker embarks on a dialogue with death-row prisoners and lets them express their views on life and death. Four men and one woman locked up in a Texan prison for murder and other crimes. As Herzog looks deep into these individuals, their stories, and their crimes, his penetrating journey into the human soul also becomes a plea for humanity and understanding.
