Werner Herzog has produced some of the most powerful, haunting, and
memorable images ever captured on film. Both his fiction films and
his documentaries address fundamental issues about nature,
selfhood, and history in ways that engage with but also criticize
and qualify the best philosophical thinking about these topics. In
focusing on figures from Aguirre, Kasper Hauser, and Stroszek to
Timothy Treadwell, Graham Dorrington, Dieter Dengler, and Walter
Steiner, among many others, Herzog investigates the nature of human
life in time and the possibilities of meaning that might be
available within it. His films demonstrate the importance of the
image in coming to terms with the plights of contemporary
industrial and commercial culture. Eldridge unpacks and develops
Herzog's achievement by bringing his work into engagement with the
thinking of Freud, Merleau-Ponty, Nietzsche, Hegel, Cavell, and
Benjamin, but more importantly also by attending closely to the
logic and development of the films themselves and to Herzog's own
extensive writings about filmmaking.
