Werner Herzog is the undisputed master of extreme cinema: building
an opera house in the middle of the jungle; walking from Munich to
Paris in the dead of winter; descending into an active volcano;
living in the wilderness among grizzly bears - he has always been
intrigued by the extremes of human experience. From his early
movies to his later documentaries, he has made a career out of
exploring the boundaries of human endurance: what we are capable of
in exceptional circumstances and what these situations reveal about
who we really are. But these are not just great cinematic themes.
During the making of his films, Herzog pushed himself and others to
the limits, often putting himself in life-threatening situations.
As a child in rural Bavaria, a single loaf of bread had to last his
family all week. The hunger and deprivation he experienced during
his early years perhaps explain his fascination with the limits of
physical endurance.All his life, Herzog would embrace risk and
danger, constantly looking for challenges and adventures. Filled to
the brim with memorable stories and poignant observations, Every
Man for Himself and God against All unveils the influences and
ideas that drive his creativity and have shaped his unique view of
the world. This book tells, for the first time, the story of his
extraordinary and fascinating life.
