Herzog + Cage = The Craziest (and Most Adorable) Filmmaking Duo Ever?
I feel like we go through waves of appreciation when it comes to Nicholas Cage. In the 80s and 90s, he was a bona fide star, but as soon as he started making choices based on money and not material, he sort of diluted his brand.
Now, it's hard to remember Cage is a great actor. Mostly because we don't get him in many great movies. For every Mandy, there are a dozen Primals.
One of my favorite Nic Cage roles is Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Directed by Werner Herzog, Cage goes bananas in this role, seeing iguanas in places and just being delightful in every moment.
Now, Herzog reflects on what went into making that movie.
"I have such wonderful memories of making the film," Herzog said in an interview with Inverse, "and Nicolas Cage, what a phenomenal actor he is."
Herzog did not mince words when it came to Cage.
"Oh, he's a gift from God," Herzog said, "and it's fallen into my lap."
