Description: Spend It All is a 45-minute study of cajuns and cajun music, shot in Lousiana. It features the usual Blank/Gerson approach: close-up sequences in which people rap to the camera, musical sections (beautifully recorded by Skip), and lyrical, flowing studies of the land that makes the music what it is. A few months ago, Blank went back to show the film to the cajuns who were in it, and got busted for dope. It was a ten to life bust, but when he showed the film to the sheriff ("I kept thinking of Leadbelly the whole time," said Blank) he got off with a small fine and ten days. Now that's a review that means something.

Herzog's eighth favorite film of all time, for whatever that's worth.
