zu den Ticketszu dem KalenderStar-studded cinema of a different kind: for his film based on the life of British researcher Gertrude Bell, Herzog managed to land Nicole Kidman, James Franco, Damien Lewis and Robert Pattinson. The scenes set in the Middle East were largely shot in Morocco. The film draws a line from the world of Great Britain of the Victorian era and the restrictions it placed on the ambitions of self-confident women to the First World War and the post-war order established in the Arab world by drawing dead-straight lines in the sand. For a Herzog film, the story is narrated in a comparatively linear way.
