Herzog's film Family Romance LLC will be released in the U.S. and in more than 10 other countries on July 4. Many of us know him for his films "Grizzly Man," "Fitzcarraldo," and "Aguirre, the Wrath of God," along with many other incredible films that bear his signature stamp as an auteur.
Yahoo Entertainment says of this film: "Donât label Werner Herzogâs new film âFamily Romance, LLCâ as minor or slight. Though Herzog shot the under 90-minute film himself and utilized non-professional actors, the German auteur calls âFamily Romance, LLCâ one of his âessential films,â saying it is as important to understanding the human experience as is his masterpiece âAguirre, The Wrath of God.â
âI think we should be very cautious with trying to find categories and squeeze it into it,â Herzog said. âOne thing is clear. It is one of my essential films out of a handful of very essential things that look deep into our human condition.â
Herzogâs âFamily Romance, LLC,â which premiered at Cannes last year and will land on MUBI on Saturday, examines a business in Japan in which patrons can rent stand-in actors to pose as family members for any occasion. If youâre embarrassed about your fatherâs drunkenness, hire a new dad to stand by your side on your wedding day. Need someone to take the blame for you at work? Thereâs someone who can do that too."
A free preview screening will be available through Mubi starting on July 3rd for one day.
