Huie's Sermon
1983 · 42 MIN · IMDB 6.0 · 470 VOTES · DIR. Werner Herzog
Overview
Reverend Huie Rogers is a preacher at the Bible Way Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ in Brooklyn. He is the topic of this short film, during which launches into an epic call-and-response denunciation of human hubris, greed, corruption and failure. The use of lengthy shots present it less like a sermon and more a performance, and induce an almost trance-like state.
