"The explosion of information technology on the internet has lead to some of its greatest glories." Magnolia has released an official US trailer for the new Werner Herzog documentary Lo and Behold: Reveries of The Connected World, in which Herzog profiles the internet and how it has changed the world, for better or worse. The doc premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year to mostly positive reviews. We featured the first two trailers a few months ago while waiting for release info to be revealed. The doc has 10 distinct chapters, from "The Early Days" to "The Future", and explores both the good and bad of what the internet has provided. I'm still quite excited to see this doc, anything by Herzog is usually quite fascinating.
Official US trailer for Werner Herzog's Lo & Behold, Reveries of the Connected World, via YouTube:
Description from the Sundance 2016 guide: "Society depends on the Internet for nearly everything but rarely do we step back and recognize its endless intricacies and unsettling omnipotence. From the brilliant mind of Werner Herzog comes his newest vehicle for exploration, a playful yet chilling examination of our rapidly interconnecting online lives. Herzog documents a treasure trove of interviews of strange and beguiling individuals—ranging from Internet pioneers to victims of wireless radiation, whose anecdotes and reflections weave together a complex portrait of our brave new world. Herzog describes the Internet as 'one of the biggest revolutions we as humans are experiencing,' and yet he tempers this enthusiasm with horror stories from victims of online harassment and Internet addiction." Herzog's latest doc first premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival in January. Lo and Behold opens in theaters + VOD starting on August 19th.

Computers are, in some respect, a bit disappointment for me since they haven't changed the world for better. No matter how fun and creative they are. But every inquiry in them is interesting ...

Westerners have a certain concept of how a monk should behave, but this is the 21st century after all.
