Herzog's MY SON, MY SON, WHAT HAVE YE DONE

Rated NR; 91min; Director:Werner Herzog  

Location: Alamo Downtown

"A surreal descent into a twilight zone created by the twisted sensibilities of two cinematic geniuses."
V.A. Musetto, New York Post

"Herzog has gone beyond Good and Evil to reinvent himself as a candidate for the wiggiest director of comedy in America today."
J. Hoberman, The Village Voice

Silly title, we know, but consider this: "David Lynch presents a Werner Herzog Film." That's as fine a pedigree as they come and sure bet for a wild ride.

Ostriches, matricide and unhinged lunacy abound in this cop-procedural follow up to Mr. Herzog's still-in-theaters masterpiece BAD LIEUTENANT. This time, Academy Award nominee Michael Shannon fills Nic Cage's crazy shoes and the whole thing's actually based on a true story. A young man drives a sword though his mother, killing her, then holes up with a couple of hostages while detective Willem Defoe pieces together the decent into madness from stories by the killer's girlfriend (Chloe Sevigny) and the always menacing Udo Kier. That's as much as we want to say right now...

...just so we can better enjoy the looks on your faces when you walk out of the theater. Don't miss this one.
