Speaker 1: and the week has been eventful in ways that matter

Speaker 1: Herzog will receive the Venice Film Festival's Golden Lion for
Speaker 1: Lifetime Achievement at the eighty second edition later this month,
Speaker 1: a canonizing honor that cements his place alongside the festival's
Speaker 1: most enduring our tours. IMDb's news feed aggregates the same announcement,

Speaker 1: prominence of the moment on the release front, the British
Speaker 1: Film Institute announced a newly restored four K Ultra HD
Speaker 1: and Blu Ray edition of a gear A The Wrath
Speaker 1: of God, landing August twenty fifth. For a filmmaker whose
Speaker 1: legend is tied to that film's audacity, this restoration is

Speaker 1: and scholars a half century on in production and development.

Speaker 1: Biz via IMDb's news roundup also quotes Kate Mara discussing
Speaker 1: wrapping Herzog's feature Bucking Fasted with her sister Rooney, reinforcing
Speaker 1: that vincipal photography recently concluded this is a secondary source

Speaker 1: Office promoted an August Chino film salon around Werner Herzog
Speaker 1: Radical Dreamer on Instagram, a nod to his continuous cultural
Speaker 1: programming presence, while smaller accounts highlighted podcast content revisiting his
