"Er muss weg, 'naus muss er." Mh, I liked this short.

Herzog playing around with rhythm. Very silly, more than a little amateurish, but good.

I didn't get the pun.

Not really sure what to make of it....

Having worked at a race track for a few years I got more enjoyment out of this then most people would. Horse racing people really ARE that crazy! I lost it when the younger guy started karate chopping wooden planks.

Interesting... A lot of it has a primitive or minimalist musical form really. It's musical in that people repeat things they say until they lose semantic meaning in favor of rhythm and symmetry, and the form is gained by then combining two such ramblings that were first given separately. I don't like the flamingo scene though, it almost kind of outed the whole thing as a joke.

Not so funny, but okay.

A sort of a mockumentary short about people who protect race horses. Coming just before Even Dwarfs Started Small, you can see the same sense of absurdist humor emerging, but there just isn't much an idea here. It seems to have the same amateurish "bunch of guys just fuckin' around" quality as the earlier The Unprecedented Defence of the Fortress Deutschkreuz. A very minor blip in Herzog's career.
