“With spectacular landscapes , a picture picturesque soundtrack and its quite very own rhythm for drama and feeling tells legendary director Werner Herzog, the fascinating life story of a woman who wrote as a female Lawrence of Arabia history. “Such advertising slogans of the rental company added the” legendary director “congenially adding that his leading lady was the best actress in the world

This is indeed the problem. The figures that Duke else gets on his hunt for superlatives in his films, are outsiders, outcasts, eccentrics, anarchic loner: the ski jumpers in the “Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner”, the fighters Aguirre and Fitzcarraldo, the murderer in “Death Row”, the animal lover in Alaska, which is eaten by grizzly bears. For this Werner Herzog himself, which deals in the jungle with his “beloved enemy” Klaus Kinski, climbs a volcano in Guadeloupe or deep communicates in the earth in the “Cave of Forgotten Dreams” with artists who were there thousands of years before our time creatively active .

Pompous technology to symphonic Gebraus

Leaves In Duke’s first film with a female protagonist, the young Gertrude Bell their Victorian family home in England to travel through the Arab countries, as an archaeologist and ethnologist, linguist and spy in short as Orientversteherin, the “Queen of the desert “is. Nicole Kidman, however, never goes away from her star image, and in her face behind the rigors of travel under a blazing sun no traces. The “spectacular landscapes” are in view of digital technology, widescreen and helicopter cameras have long been standard. And the “Picturesque Soundtrack”? Symphonic Gebraus, underlaid with Arabic chants and growls dromedary

you find yourself from it, a to see film by Werner Herzog, but no Werner Herzog film, can enjoy some curious moment. For instance there is the Conference of Western statesmen chaired Churchills who want to reshape the Middle East in its own image. Animals, however, take the gear much of its importance, such as when a vulture the first kiss of love couple lust in delayed or if dromedaries Gertrude ogle in the bathtub in the middle of the desert. And Robert Pattinson as TE Lawrence with the most pompous headdresses Arabia goes smoothly than parodic piece on David Lean’s epic by.

They want the harem stuck

In the “innate rhythm of drama and feel “it stays between Adventure and Romance in barren draw. The adventure: Man draws of the Bedouin to the Druze, the sheik said to the emir, and always the next stop is announced as extremely dangerous. Move the Expeditionary Force is surrounded by a troop of horsemen, although wild shoots around, but rather acts as a Touristenbespaßungstruppe. After death threats against the invaders Gertrude Bell trudges into the tent of the clan chiefs, where you immediately cited jointly Persian poetry, Virgil and Rimbaud. Only once it is critical: They want to get stuck in a harem, but the chief proves lowbrow lad. So Gertrude clarifies the situation with a word of thunder: “No man touches a married woman. That the Prophet taught “

The men will die in their lives both

The love episodes ends less fortunate. Both men in Gertrud’s life die – but each with moving finale in words and pictures. The first writes the suicide note: “Love knows no law”, and her gaze out the window slides over two swans on a pond and a Bambi-like deer in the meadow. Beautiful can not be bio-kitsch. The other man throws himself from unhappy marriage in the soldier’s heroic death. His legacy: “Love is a tyrant who spared no.” Gertrude Bell receives the message on a receiver and lets fright drop the champagne glass. Luck and glass, how bad breaks the
