Summary: A film exactly described by its title. German film director Herzog had made a bet with fledgling director Errol Morris that, if Morris made a film, Herzog would eat his shoe. Morris went on to film 'Gates of Heaven', so Herzog kept his promise. While eating the boiled shoe, Herzog carries on a dialogue with the film premier audience on film, art, and life. (imdb)
Country: USA

Werner's insightful and fascinating to listen to, but he also comes off as the kind of guy you could totally hang out with, have a beer, maybe eat a shoe

Hey, I have a bet going on: If the euro falls to 0.85 dollars, I'll have to shave a cow (don't know if that's even possible, maybe a sheep). I liked the "Gold Rush" comparisons, quite a special film...

Ok, so it's cool to see Herzog do something crazy but there's not much of interest beyond that.

While Herzog always says something interesting and it is surprisingly amusing to watch someone eat their shoe; this is overall not really worth watching if you don't have a lot of time to spare.

Cool little mini-doc about an apocryphal incident in film history. Not worth watching if you aren't already familiar with Herzog's antics, but a treat to anyone who is.

I love the fact that he follows through on his promise, that he cooks the shoe properly, with vegetables and everything, then eats almost the whole thing. Herzog is so awesome. Fascinating to listen to, too. The cactus anecdote was pretty sick.

This film is called "Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe", it's under 20 minutes and it's on YouTube, so whether or not to watch this should be a no-brainer. It's moderately funny and moderately interesting.

A movie whose daffiness and insight befits its title, Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe imparts, among other things, the wisdom that it isn't self-destructive to jump into a cactus.

The description (and title) of this film is not quite accurate: "nibbles at" would have been closer to the truth.

Herzog keeps a promise. Disjointed but Herzog's ramblings are powerful and really draw you in, plus it's always fun to watch him do something weird.

"TV. It kills us. And talkshows... they'll kill us. They kill our language. So we have to declare Holy War on what we see everyday on TV. [...] Real war against Bonanza and Rawhide." D'oh. Why didn't I think of that? Obviously the actual shoeeating rocks. I can't imagine any shoeeating ever surpassing this. "Give us adequate images. We lack adequate images. Our civilization doesn't have adequate images."
