[edit] Music

Being well-viewed concerning Herzog's catalog, narrative and documentary, I found the statement "As with virtually all of Herzog's films, music is his guide to the viewer" to be offputting. Herzog normally has a very heavy personal hand in his documentaries, whether he appears in them (a lot of the time) and guides the action (as with Little Dieter Needs to Fly and Wings of Hope) or shares his thoughts through narration, and I don't believe the open-ended structure of Lessons of Darkness is completely typical of his style.
