Monday Afternoon Diversion: Werner Herzog

By Kevin Robinson in Arts & Entertainment on Oct 3, 2011 8:00PM

We've been having a bit of a discussion today in the Chicagoist offices about Werner Herzog and some of the films he's made.

After some debate over which was the more interesting clip, we settled on this one, featuring two scientists talking about the mating calls of seals, swimming under the ice in Antarctica.

You can check out the runner up here, which features his classic over-the-top narration in his distinctive Bavarian accent.
