Werner Herzog is a big fan of Kanye West’s ‘Famous’ video

Director has given an analysis of the controversial clip.

Legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog has given his two cents on Kanye West’s ‘Famous’ video. You know, the one with naked Donald Trump and Taylor Swift lookalikes.

In a commentary for the Daily Beast, Herzog gets to analyse the NSFW clip. His running commentary talks about how “the internet can create doppelgängers”, calling Kanye’s rap “very well done.”

“This video gives you space for creating your separate parallel story,” he says. “You keep thinking are these people for real? What are they doing? How have they partied? What brought them together? So all of a sudden, the rapper gives me the chance to completely go wild on my own story.”

Watch his commentary below.
