Among the most beautiful and profoundly moving of Werner Herzog's many films, this documentary explores the inner world of Fini Strabinger, an elderly Bavarian woman who went deaf and blind in her early teens. Herzog uses a quiet, languid style to chronicle seemingly quotidian experiences--a trip to the zoo, passage on an airplane--that become profound and humbling when experienced with the resilient Strabinger. "One of Herzog''s most extraordinary films" (Richard Eder, The New York Times Magazine). In German with English subtitles.
