I have unfortunately not seen it, but I know that Herzog is a great admirer of Seghers. Did you catch it?
I did, it was part of an exhibition at the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, San Francisco, while I worked there as a Curatoral Fellow in 2013. It was a montage of Seghers’ paintings with an incredible classical cello score, intercut with video of the cellist performing the work. It was very Herzog....bold, soaring, operatic, and visual spellbinding. Check it out, it might be online somewhere in bits and pieces.
