When Bruce Chatwin was dying of AIDS, his friend Werner Herzog made a final visit. As a parting gift, Chatwin gave him his rucksack. Thirty years later, Herzog sets out on his own journey, inspired by Chatwin's passion for the nomadic life.
This film might speak to you, or whisper to you. As with any film by Werner Herzog, it lives in feelings and images, not words. As a first approximation you could think of it as an exploration of some different forms of strangeness: anthropological, mythical, archeological. But it's not a scientific search for explanations. Essentially it asks: "What IS this!?!?" More a yearning than a search. A yearning for visceral contact with what, in our species, is ancient, mysterious, and possibly glorious.
Quotations: Werner Herzog: "The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot." The last sentence Bruce Chatman wrote: "Christ wore a seamless robe." Chatwin's biographer and editor of his letters, Nicholas Shakespeare: "He tells not a half-truth but a truth and a half."
