德国导演沃纳•赫尔措格（Werner Herzog）即使不是唯一，但也可以列入世界上最富冒险精神导演行列了。他的影片往往充满了刺激和挑战，或在热带雨林和另一个疯子克劳斯•金斯基打造陆上行舟的奇景，或与各种危险动物近距离接触，为此付出生命也在所不惜。2004年的《白钻石》中，赫尔措格引领观众简要回顾飞机和氢气球的发展史。接着便带出本片另一个主角——研究氢气球的格雷姆•多灵顿博士（Graham Dorrington 饰），一个14岁时被火箭炸掉两根手指、同样富有冒险精神的男人。他们将乘坐多灵顿发明的氢气飞船圭亚那内陆的顶端丛林，以人类的柔弱之躯向自然发出挑战与膜拜……
回复 :一位維權女律師公然抨擊政權盲目鎮壓伊朗民間團體，換來律師牌照被吊銷，而她的記者丈夫也被迫逃匿。前路茫茫，她唯有設法逃離伊朗，但要獨自應付重重困難，既有官僚制度的欺壓，亦有針對女性的社會不公。導演借女主角的故事來比喻自己被政府打壓的遭遇，所以本片的拍攝過程只能低調進行。導演身兼監製及編劇，在這樣不利的環境下仍有膽量去批判現今伊朗社會。雖然在康城影展一種關注單元中勇奪導演大獎，但卻因其敢言作風而被禁止離國。

回复 :50年代-60年代初波兰电影学院派的经典作品之一，堪称与同时代意大利导演安东尼奥尼的《奇遇》相比，改编自Józef Hen在社会主义波兰时期被禁的小说。In 1960 his second film NIKT NIE WOLA / NOBODY'S CALLING, based on a Jozef Hen novel that was never published in Poland, described the fate of Poles on the Eastern Front. Kutz used the film to explore new formal solutions, collaborating closely with cinematographer Jerzy Wojcik to reveal the psychological landscape of a pair of lovers who are strongly affected by wartime events. The camera recorded the couple's inner experiences, contrasting their muted intimacy against the surrounding scenery of a ruined town. The film did not win over critics at the time of its release. It was not until later that critics recognized Kutz's effort to experiment with aesthetics in a manner akin to that pursued by filmmakers of the new wave. NOBODY'S CALLING came to be compared with Michelangelo Antonioni's THE ADVENTURE, which was produced around the same time.
