Collection of 18 films and documentaries from acclaimed German
director Werner Herzog, famed for his blending of documentary
realism with heightened stylisation. In 'Aguirre, Wrath of God'

aims to cross the Peruvian Sierras in search of the legendary Inca
city of El Dorado. 'The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser' (1974) stars Bruno
Schleinstein as the title character, telling the true story of the
German boy who spent the first two decades of his life chained up
in a cellar. Set in 18th Century Bolivia, 'Heart of Glass' (1976)
stars Josef Bierbichler as Hias, a man with supernatural foresight
who predicts a fire that will destroy the town's glassblowing
factory. 'Stroszek' (1977) stars Schleinstein as a Berlin street
performer recently released from prison who tries to get his life
back on track with the help of his prostitute friend Eva (Eva

infamous Count Dracula, a peculiarly pale man with a penchant for
vampirism. 'Woyzeck' (1979) is a film adaptation of the play by
George Büchner telling the story of a lowly soldier who works all
the hours he can to provide for his illegitimate child. In

transport a steamship over a hill that hides access to an area rich
in rubber. The film is based on true events. 'Cobra Verde' (1987)
