another of Herzog's not-documentary not-fiction films, or just a, uh, film, it's zany and informative, with one of Herzog's funniest end shots.

Werner Herzog's kooky, anachronistic/obsolete, Romantic/Gothic presentation of decadent aristocracy and the cult of the (amateur) artist. Or is it so out of touch, given our state of late/monopoly/finance capitalism, the society of the spectacle and the cult of celebrity? Of course, Herzog fails to consciously make the connection. Indeed the film(maker) is confused. For example, take the claim that Gesualdo's sound world was not to be conceived again until the late-nineteenth-century. Is that a claim for or against progress in music?

A poorly-made documentary on a fascinating subject -- definitely skip it.

The voice over was suitably manic as they tell the tale of Gesualdo cutting down an entire forest with his bare hands after killing his family ('follow me, let me show you what he did next!') Overall though,this film is rather amateurish and surprisingly shoddy. Unthinkably poor, given it's Herzog.

Herzog visits madrigal composer Gesualdo's castle and asks various scholars, musicians, and local handymen to recount what they know about him. Turns out that he murdered his wife and her lover when he caught them in flagrante delicto. It also turns out that a number of the stories about Gesualdo were simply made up by Herzog (to capture his ecstatic truth rather than the accountant's truth). Herzog continues his tradition of narrating the film in his distinctive German accent even when it means translating what the talking heads are saying rather than using subtitles. (This is how Joaquin Phoenix knew that Herzog was rescuing him after a car accident.) If I knew more about madrigals, I might have enjoyed this film more.
