I also remember this film as life-changing. I saw it at the TIFF many years ago and was baffled by it.
There is a small scene in an elevator that I remember as a transcendent cinematic moment.
Like so many of Herzog's films, it is deeply moving for reasons that aren't easy to put your finger on - often with Herzog it's an odd juxtaposition, an awkward silence, a strange edit, an inappropriate flash of humour or horror that produce a flash of insight.
This film, at the time, seemed conventional by Herzog's standards, but I still left the theatre feeling slightly drugged, always a good sign.
