LOS ANGELES — Werner Herzog says there’s a “subversive message” to his new documentary “Meeting Gorbachev”: Talk to your geopolitical enemies. Herzog interviewed former Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev three times in a six-month span to make the new film. And in a way, it’s a subversive message of the film,” Herzog told The Associated Press in an interview. I do believe that the dangerous situation is, in a way, defused.”“Meeting Gorbachev” is one of three films Herzog has been working on in the last year. He also completed a documentary about a friend, the writer Bruce Chatwin, which recently debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival.
