On the meaning of “The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans”:

It’s fine to keep that open because each audience has the privilege to see it in his or her way. But I think it’s basically a new form of film noir… The climate of time is favorable for film noir. When there is insecurity in things like the financial system collapsing. It’s always in these moments, as an echo, that you see film noir coming up.

You heard it people. Herr Herzog said it so it must be true. Any producers want to capture the moment and strike while the iron is hot I have a very relevant crime drama screenplay that takes place in New York City, noir capital of the world.

Any takers? Anyone? Anyone? [cricket]
