How Much Wood Would A Woodchuck Chuck

How Much Wood Would a Woodchuck Chuck is a 1976 documentary film by German director Werner Herzog. It is a 44 minute film documenting the World Livestock Auctioneer Championship held in New Holland, Pennsylvania. Herzog has said that he believes auctioneering to be “the last poetry possible, the poetry of capitalism.” Herzog describes the auctioneering as an “extreme language … frightening but quite beautiful at the same time.” Herzog used two of the featured auctioneers as actors in his later film Stroszek.

The Whiskey A Go Go Scene

“Faces” from the incredibly well done John Cassavetes box set “Five Films” released by Criterion. Simply beautiful film making. I love how he edited this scene. The music, the absence of dialogue, the slow swirling camera waiting to reveal the next moment, the perfect cut to the eyes meeting for an instance and the music filtering internally to lock in the moment. It’s a scene that I have watched many times and still get more out of it each time. That’s rich and that was Cassavetes.
