Invincible Werner Herzog 2001 UK/Germany/Ireland/US (1st time; TV) In 1930s Germany, a smalltown Jew with incredible strength is exploited in Berlin, and rises to fame, to the bewilderment of the Nazis. "Based on a true story", it tells us in big letters after the title pops up; nevertheless, it's presented like a tragic fairytale, full of wooden characters, stiff acting and, perhaps most unusually, drab images. Herzog's never been a director to make films with a predominant sense of realism, but this sinks early on into a contrived mess, whose most powerful shot, of thousands of crabs in a rock pool, is apparently stolen from his previous feature, Little Dieter Needs to Fly.
