Werner Herzog is always up to something interesting. In this documentary, he gets together with former Russian/Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev for an interview. Alas the old guy is not at all what he used to be mentally, but still has some interesting things to say. This is interspersed with a polite documentary covering his life and career. There is one bit of dark humor that is well worth seeing - a section covering the 3 aged Kremlin chiefs who all died within months of assuming power. The central committee realized they had to get someone younger at that point, and turned to Gorbachev.
