Over the course of his career, legendary director Werner Herzog (b.
1942) has made almost sixty films and given more than eight hundred
interviews. This collection features the best of these, focusing on
all the major films, from Signs of Life and Aguirre, the Wrath of
God to Grizzly Man and Cave of Forgotten Dreams. When did Herzog
decide to become a filmmaker? Who are his key influences? Where
does he find his peculiar themes and characters? What role does
music play in his films? How does he see himself in relation to the
German past and in relation to film history? And how did he ever
survive the wrath of Klaus Kinski? Herzog answers these and many
other questions in twenty-five interviews ranging from the 1960s to
the present. Critics and fans recognized Herzog's importance as a
young German filmmaker early on, but his films have attained
international significance over the decades. Most of the interviews
collected in this volume--some of them from Herzog's production
archive and previously unpublished--appear in English for the very
first time. Together, they offer an unprecedented look at Herzog's
work, his career, and his public persona as it has developed and
changed over time.
