How Much Wood Would a Woodchuck Chuck is a 1976 documentary film by German director Werner Herzog, produced by Werner Herzog Filmproduktion. It is a 44 minute film documenting the World Livestock Auctioneer Championship held in New Holland, Pennsylvania. Herzog has said that he believes auctioneering to be "the last poetry possible, the poetry of capitalism." [DVD audio commentary for "Stroszek"]
Herzog describes the auctioneering as an "extreme language ... frightening but quite beautiful at the same time."[cite book]
