It's at least intriguing, at best (makes me think of Herzog's affirmation that "film is not an art of scholars but an ort of illiterates" for some reason). But I was never one to care for cheap, experimental student films, and this is nothing more than that. Still, it's barely 15-minutes long and it's worthwhile at least for Herzog fans.

This early short by Werner Herzog appears to be largely improvised... some guys (college buddies of Herzog's, perhaps) fuck around in an old fortress, find some uniforms and weapons, and play at war. The narration also seems to be some guy just riffing on what he sees, although this might be more written than the action. It's hard to tell, and hard to care. Nothing much going on here, but at only 15 minutes, it's tolerable for the curious.

The footage is fine, but it's the deranged narration that makes this one worthwhile. I love it when the guy laughs! Herzog being imaginative as always.

For fans of director Werner Herzog.
