“ Everyone is talking about the shots of the iguanas and the alligator, staring with cold reptilian eyes. Who else but Herzog would hold on their gaze? Who else would foreground them, placing the action in the background? Who but Cage could regard an iguana sideways in a look of suspicion and disquiet? You need to keep an eye on an iguana. The bastards are always up to something.”
Roger Ebert’s review of Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call, New Orleans. This movie was absurd and fantastic in only the way that Herzog and Cage can be. I have never anticipated a director’s commentary more than with this film.
