Very kind and thoughtful of the local natives to ask Herzog first.
More about Kinski, at possibly the same movie.
Spoiler: |
In Kinski's write-up about the production of "La Femme-Enfant", possibly from one of his autobiographies, he complained about everything, from the filming location, the water quality, and his annoyance with anyone he worked with. And they had to pay top dollar to have him in the movie! I suppose, in the parts I read, he never mentioned any complaints about the cow scene. That said, during his performance in this film, I completely believed his character and his enchantment by Elisabeth.
