Herzog can be forgiven for his hero worship of the statesman so instrumental in the reunification of Germany, a politician who was born to rural peasants and never forgot that the people come first.

Part of Herzog's wonderment at Gorbachev - "one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century," he says - surely has to do with such a rational, placid-appearing man not just surmounting insuperable limits but doing so with world-historical impact.

What makes MEETING GORBACHEV most interesting is the way we see Herzog shape the narrative through his questions, narration, and filmmaking skills.

Werner Herzog never quite recovers from having his opening question slapped down in this fitfully revealing, but always intriguing encounter with former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.

For all [its] flaws, Meeting Gorbachev remains a fascinating study of a remarkable life.

Herzog captures a moment in history when, for a moment, it genuinely seemed as if the good guys had won.
