Episode 17 | Documentary in Review | Into the Abyss

I recently watched Werner Herzog's documentary Into The Abyss. The film is a powerful look at the lives of a criminal on death row and the people who were affected by his supposed crimes.

One interesting thing about Werner Herzog is that, unlike many filmmakers, he includes some of his interview questions in the final film. Which is slightly odd stylistically, but great for me analyzing his interviewing style.

In this episode, I play back three interview sections in the film and explore what Werner Herzog, in my opinion, did well as an interviewer and, also, what he could have done better!
