Auch Zwerge haben klein angefangen: Directed by Werner Herzog. With Helmut Döring, Paul Glauer, Gisela Hertwig, Hertel Minkner. A group of dwarfs at a correctional facility erupt in anarchy.

“This film is hard going, true, but through the chaos and endless repetition can be glimpsed a kind of joy of existence. The dwarves are exaggerations of human behavior, and at the same time, human behavior distilled. Within the confines of the prison complex where the film plays, their actions become more and more outrageous, and through all this a kind of tenderness emerges in their very closeness and comeraderie. Herzog revels in pointing the mirror at his audience, making them take a closer look at themselves, and this film is as good as any example of his take on the human condition.”
