Death and life
I have seen many Herzog films: Encounters at the End of the World, Rescue Dawn, Grizzley Man, and Aguirre: The Wrath of God, just to name a few. I have always been fascinated with his work.Herzog documentaries are notable for using locals instead of professionals to give it a ring of truth. It makes for a more interesting story.
This film was made 8 days before Michael Perry, a man on death row convicted of murdering Sandra Stotler, a fifty-year-old nurse, was to be executed. He was suspected, but never charged, in two other murders which occurred in Conroe, Texas, with his accomplice Jason Burkett. Perry was convicted eight years earlier of the October 2001 murder, apparently committed in order to steal a car for a joyride. Perry denies that he was responsible for the killings, blaming Burkett (also appearing in the film) who was convicted of the other two murders. Burkett, who received a lesser life sentence for his involvement, likewise blames Perry.
The tales of all involved, especially the inmate’s father, and the warden, were fascinating.
Intense and thought-provoking
INTO THE ABYSS is another intense and thought-provoking documentary from a master of the craft. Although on the outset this is Werner Herzog’s exploration of Death Row in Texas, in fact it’s much more than that: social issues, true crime, historical mystery, religion, punishment and the nature of good and evil all play a part. The story is of a violent crime that shocked a locality and left three dead and the lives affected ever since. Herzog stays off camera, contributing questions to a series of interviewees and getting into the subject matter with astonishing depth and clarity. As ever, this is moving, engrossing, and offers no easy answers.
