In late November 1974, filmmaker Werner Herzog received a phone
call from Paris delivering some terrible news. German film
historian, mentor, and close friend Lotte Eisner was seriously ill
and dying. Herzog was determined to prevent this and believed that
an act of walking would keep Eisner from death. He took a jacket, a
compass, and a duffel bag of the barest essentials, and wearing a
pair of new boots, set off on a three-week pilgrimage from Munich
to Paris through the deep chill and snowstorms of winter. Of
Walking in Ice is Herzog's beautifully written, much-admired, yet
often-overlooked diary account of that journey. Herzog documents
everything he saw and felt on his quest to his friend's bedside,
from poetic descriptions of the frozen landscape and harsh weather
conditions to the necessity of finding shelter in vacant or
abandoned houses and the intense loneliness of his solo excursion.
Includes, for the first time, Werner Herzog's 1982 "Tribute to
Lotte Eisner" upon her receipt of the Helmut Kautner Prize
