| Sumario: | Herzog is fascinated by Longinus' invocation of the concept of ecstasy, seeing the artistic possibilities of the sublime in creating the experience of "ecstatic truth", through which we can elevate ourselves above nature. Rediscovered in the 17 SP th sp century, Longinus has influenced cinema by inspiring at least one modern filmmaker: director Werner Herzog considers Longinus as a friend. It follows then that filmmakers and theorists might find it beneficial to follow Herzog and know something of the philosophical and aesthetic concepts around the sublime. |
