Lo & Behold: Reveries of the Connected World

Herzog leads viewers on a journey through a series of provocative conversations that reveal the ways in which the online world has transformed, how virtually everything in the real world works – from business to education, space travel to healthcare – and the very heart of how we conduct our personal relationships.

Director

Werner Herzog

Werner Herzog is an iconic German director, writer, author of over 60 films. His movies have received more than 50 awards and nominations, from the Berlinale’s Silver Bear for Best Feature Debut Signs of Life back in 1968, to an Oscar nomination for his documentary Encounters at the End of the World in 2009. Herzog is a unique filmmaker: critics consider him to be a part of the New German Cinema (along with Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Wim Wenders), but Herzog himself has always denied it; the director is famous both for his fiction features and his documentaries.

It’s such a great film! Even though I don’t like long films, I’ll remember this one for a long time. I was especially struck by the moment when a married couple left a baby at home, although they were bringing up and taking care of a “non-existent” child in the virtual game. Probably the scariest thing is that people don’t understand where the thin line lies between the real and the virtual world. And then it’s so easy to fall victim to the imaginary which will “consume” your mind and then your entire life.
