Werner Herzog Watched 30 Minutes of ‘Barbie’ and Asked: ‘Could It Be That the World of Barbie Is Sheer Hell?’


Werner Herzog says the world of "Barbie" is sheer hell.

The “Grizzly Man” and “Aguirre, the Wrath of God” filmmaker never got around to seeing Christopher Nolan’s atomic bomb epic, and he seemed to be chilled to the bone after watching only 30 minutes of Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster Mattel comedy. Herzog is the latest auteur to make headlines by speaking about “Barbie.” Oliver Stone went viral last month when critical comments he made to City A.M. about Gerwig’s movie last summer resurfaced online. Stone latter issued an apology on social media, saying he “had little to no knowledge” of the “Barbie” movie when he made his original comments.
