Where the Green Ants Dream
Movie Information
In Brief: Minor Werner Herzog, but make no mistake, Where the Green Ants Dream (1984) is still Herzog, and any movie by cinema's most idiosyncratic — sometimes just short of lunatic — filmmaker is worth at least one look. It's a kind of shaggy tale of the crimes against the Aborigines by the Australian government — in this case, involving the destruction of one of their sacred grounds by a mining company. Of course, since this is Herzog, the entire mythology of the green ants is palpable nonsense made up by the filmmaker. The whole thing is rather slight, but some moments transcend the thin and somewhat hackneyed premise. This excerpt is taken from a review written by Ken Hanke on Sept. 16, 2014.
