Q: There are moments in the film that feel staged or maybe rehearsed. Like the coroner who talks about the corpses.
Herzog: Well, the coroner is a good case, because he has to appear in court, he has to testify, and his manner is very reduced, cold matter-of-fact, get the fact-fact-fact-fact without emotion. And I said to him, ”Frank, you’re not Dr. Frank Falco”, and he’s a very philosophical and kind man and I said to him, “Frank, we’re not in court now. You’re not going to testify in court. We’re here in a film about a human being. I want to know what did you feel when you saw the remains. 28 lbs remains of Treadwell, 22 lbs of Amy Huegenard that were found out there in the field and the rest of the both in the stomach of the bear. I want to see a human being who is telling me this. I don’t want the coroner testifying in court.” And he looked at me and said, “I understood what you mean.” And he’s quite remarkable and wonderful. |
