I'm going to give away a lot of secrets here so make sure you don't read any further if you haven't seen this.
Okay? Have the kids left the room? I mean, there is also a girl in a star-spangled bikini involved here.
What we see is the organization of an expedition to investigate the Loch Ness monster. The producer is Penn and the director is the justifiably famous Werner Herzog. They duly investigate the monster.
What conclusions can we draw from this inexpensive documentary? Only one, really. Werner Herzog is a pretty good actor. Gosh, I love 'im. He has this British-tinted English accent that makes him sound like some reassuring Freudian shrink. "Vell, this beaudifull zonar operator came on board ze bood and -- vell, she didn't look like a zonar operator." He also gets a chance to act insulted and angry, almost to the point of blows.
The producer, Zack Penn, has a great role too -- that of the world's greatest Arschloch. The zonar operator strips off her jump suit revealing a bikini and jumps in the water. And -- well, I'll tell you. All heck breaks loose. Penn points a gun at Herzog's forehead and threatens to shoot him if he doesn't obey orders.
It wasn't until about half an hour into the movie that I realized das ganze Geschaft war ersatz. There. I said it and I'm glad. But I had to put it through a kind of step-up transducer because I'm still of two minds about giving away the secret character of the film. You may try to catch me but you'll never take me alive.
It's really kind of fun. I enjoyed it.
