So, this one's called 'Scenes from the Life of Hermann Nitsch' from 2005. It's not your usual doc; it feels more like a diary, really. The director's unknown, which adds to that intimate vibe. You get a sense of Hermann's artistic evolution, especially those early performances in New York—definitely raw and visceral. And then there's the footage of him at the Prinzendorf monastery, which has become this crucial space for his practice. The pacing is laid-back, almost like you're wandering through memories with him. You can really feel the weight of his philosophy and how it seeps into his work. It's got that personal touch that many art documentaries lack.
