this status explains the ambiguity of purpose and the temptation to define it as experiment. because it is a film about bodies and questions. Herakles is just an interpreted hero from a lost world, the social critic seems obvious, the desire to keep the meaning of story is vain. it could be boring for many viewers. but it has the virtue to be a challenge. and little more. a form to read, from a modern angle, the works of Herkules who becomes symbol for a never ending fight against the details of contemporary society. poetic and provocative. like each film by Werner Herzog. a trait. and a precious virtue.
