Cycle 𝐋𝐞 𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐚 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞 #𝐖𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐳𝐨𝐠 - « Ennemis intimes »

« Ennemis intimes » ne se contente pas de retracer sa relation tumultueuse avec l'acteur Klaus Kinski. Le documentaire devient une réflexion sur la création, la violence, la nature, la mort et la mémoire. À travers les archives et les souvenirs, le film devient aussi une méditation sur le deuil : le cinéma ne ressuscite pas les disparus, mais leur permet de continuer à habiter le présent.

“THE ENORMITY OF THEIR flat brain, the enormity of their stupidity, is just overwhelming. You have to do yourself a favor when you’re out in the countryside and you see a chicken: Try to look a chicken in the eye with great intensity, and the intensity of stupidity that is looking back at you is just amazing. By the way, it’s very easy to hypnotize a chicken; they are very prone to hypnosis, and in one or two films I have actually shown that.”

Examining the numbers behind Andy Burnham’s ‘Manchester Miracle’

More or Less

Tim Harford investigates some of the numbers in the news. This week:

(00:23) Andy Burnham may not be Prime Minister yet, but he’s setting out his economic agenda, and its based on his old stomping ground, Greater Manchester. We ask whether the official figures that seem to show an economic miracle can be fully believed, and how much credit he deserves.

(10:09) As our towns and cities get hotter, would turning to air conditioning really drive outside temperatures up by 10 to 12 degrees celcius? We learn about the fascinating world of ‘urban heat islands’.

(15:40) We turn to homophones in an attempt to continue a running joke. This week, we follow six items about Wales with an item about whales - are our cetacean friends the carbon sinks of our dreams? Will we ever write a stranger paragraph?

(22:10) Cult director and maths fanboy Werner Herzog has been waxing lyrical about the intruiging mysteries of prime numbers. Tim cracks out a surprisingly decent impression and we learn about one of the most inscrutable problems in mathematics - what’s not to like?

More or Less is the programme that looks at numbers and statistics in news and in life. We’re always looking for questions from listeners - you can contact us on [email protected].

Guests:
Paul Swinney - Chief Economist at The Data City
Liam Sides - Associate Director at Oxford Economics
Dimple Rana - Heat Resilience Leader at Arup
Sue Grimmond - Professor of Meteorology, University of Reading
Dr Olaf Meynecke - Marine Ecologist, Griffith University
James Grime - Mathematician and star of YouTube channel Numberphile

Fiebertraum – #WernerHerzog in #Peru

Durch Filme wie “ #Fitzcarraldo ” oder “ #Aguirre ” wurde der unbequeme „ #SoldatdesKinos“ zur Legende des europäischen Arthouse-Kinos. 2026 erlebt Werner Herzog einen weiteren Karriere-Höhepunkt: Im Alter von 83 Jahren wird er zum unwahrscheinlichsten #Influencer aller Zeiten.
Berühmt in aller Welt – unbekannt in Deutschland

Werner Herzog ist vielleicht der derzeit berühmteste Kultur-Export Deutschlands. Nur in seinem Heimatland kennt ihn kaum jemand.
Mit 83 zum Influencer

Autor #MaxOsenstätter sucht nach Antworten unter anderem im Dschungel von Peru und findet heraus, dass Herzog und er eine Gemeinsamkeit haben: Beide haben ein außergewöhnliches Verhältnis zur Wahrheit.

Section five tackles the regulatory frontier as consumer brain scanners outpace the law. Cryptographer Christine Lauter notes current hardware encryption only lasts 50 years, leaving long-term thoughts vulnerable. Human rights lawyer Jared Gensler warns that scanners could allow authorities to read a defendant's unexpressed fear.

Based on Werner Herzog's Theatre of Thought (2021) documentary.

Section four uses Philippe Petit’s 1974 tightrope walk between the Twin Towers as a metaphor for neurotechnology. On one side are medical miracles, like John Donoghue's robotic arms for the paralyzed. On the other side, philosophers like Sara Goering warn of a chilling loss of cognitive autonomy and rogue manipulation by advertisers.

The hardware making this possible is shrinking rapidly. Ken Sheppard is developing "chip as system" technology with implantable devices just 350 microns size—the size of a dust mite. Delivered via a hypodermic needle, they sit on the brain to restore sight. They must be passivated to survive the corrosive saltwater inside the skull.

Section three, "The synthesized voice," shows that science can also pull instructions out of the brain. For locked-in patients, Dr. Edward Chang records neural activity from the cortical area controlling the vocal tract. By capturing speech signals, his system synthesizes thoughts into audible words, erasing the gap between intent and sound.

Using light, animal behaviors cease to be internal choices and become external toggles. Scientists can flick a switch to turn fundamental drives up or down, including aggression, nurturing, hunger, thirst, and sleep. This mechanical ease implies our own complex actions might be far more programmable than we care to acknowledge.

Section two, "Flipping the behavioral switch," explores how internal choices can become biological toggles. At Stanford, Karl Deisseroth industrialized mind control via optogenetics. Light-activated genes from algae are inserted into animal neurons, allowing researchers to control brains using fiber-optic pulses of light.

Packed into this folded tissue is a dense arrangement of 86 billion neurons, the seat of every memory, drive, and aspiration. Researcher Rafael Yuste contrasts this with a tiny hydra, which has only 300 neurons but can somersault. If a hydra is reduced to a cellular soup, it rebuilds itself in three days, proving intelligence is distributed.

Section one, "Your brain is a pizza," confronts the physical mundanity of the mind. Dr. Koch uses a tactile metaphor, describing the human cortex as a two-dimensional sheet about 12 to 14 inches across. It has the exact dimensions and thickness of a standard pizza with extra cheese, acting as the counterintuitive medium for thought.

Dr. Christoph Koch, head of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, describes his daybreak rowing routine as a hyper-conscious "state of flow" where the inner critic goes silent. This simple experience raises a jarring biological question: how does this deep felt awareness of being alive emerge from a physical wet sheet of tissue?

YOUR BRAIN IS A PIZZA

The video introduces the deep mystery of human existence: the architecture of our minds. It explores how raw life data—like color, motion, pain, and love—is manufactured inside the skull. It questions what happens when modern technology reads and controls this process, challenging our definitions of reality, privacy, and personal sovereignty.

Dieser Dokumentarfilm über Nastassja Kinski läuft bei ARTE im Rahmen der Wim-Wenders-Retrospektive – ein Kontext, der sich wie ein leiser Stachel anfühlt. Denn hier erzählt eine Frau von Szenen, die sie als Kind verletzten, gedreht im Auftrag jener Filmwelt, die sie gleichzeitig feierte. Marie-Gabrielle Fabres Film kommt ohne Pathos aus, hat aber ein feines Gespür dafür, wann sie besser schweigen musste. Denn auch ihr Schweigen wurde hier zu einem Statement, weil es den Raum für Kinskis Stimme vergrößert hat. (ARTE, Wh.)
