The French as Seen By... (Les Français vus par...) Werner Herzog - Les Gaulois

The French as Seen By… was the title and subject of a series of five short films by notable directors. It was initiated and sponsored by the newspaper Le Figaro, as part of the 1988 celebration of the tenth anniversary of its magazine section. This is the segment directed by Werner Herzog entitled Les Gaulois. A couple years ago I took on the challenge of watching every film he had directed. Most were easy to find. Some were a bit more challenging. And some, like this one, were absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to track down. After months and months of searching, I finally got my hands on a copy. I had a friend translate the French dialog and I created English subtitles. Here it is now for all you Herzog completists out there. I hope I've saved you a lot of trouble. If any of you French speakers have a better translation, by all means let me know and I'll improve it.
