Herakles

Year: 1962

Runtime: 10 mins

Director: Werner Herzog

Documentary

The piece is a heterogeneous montage of short clips that examine masculine bravado. It juxtaposes overt displays—bodybuilders flexing biceps and triceps with indirect symbols of testosterone, such as military bombers on raid missions and dramatic car‑crash footage. The result is a kaleidoscopic portrait of machismo and its cultural reverberations.
