Roger Ebert was the most influential film critic in the United
States, the first to win a Pulitzer Prize. For almost fifty years,
he wrote with plainspoken eloquence about the films he loved for
the Chicago Sun-Times, his vast cinematic knowledge matched by a
sheer love of life that bolstered his appreciation of films. Ebert
had particular admiration for the work of director Werner Herzog,
whom he first encountered at the New York Film Festival in 1968,
the start of a long and productive relationship between the
filmmaker and the film critic.Herzog by Ebert is a comprehensive
collection of Ebert's writings about the legendary director,
featuring all of his reviews of individual films, as well as longer
essays he wrote for his Great Movies series. The book also brings
together other essays, letters, and interviews, including a letter
Ebert wrote Herzog upon learning of the dedication to him of
"Encounters at the End of the World;" a multifaceted profile
written at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival; and an interview with
Herzog at Facet's Multimedia in 1979 that has previously been
available only in a difficult-to-obtain pamphlet. Herzog himself
contributes a foreword in which he discusses his relationship with
Ebert. Brimming with insights from both filmmaker and film critic,
Herzog by Ebert will be essential for fans of either of their
prolific bodies of work.
