Most of what we've heard about Werner Herzog is untrue. The sheer number of false rumours and downright lies disseminated about the man and his films is truly astonishing. Yet Herzog's body of work is one of the most important in post-war European cinema. His international breakthrough came in 1973 with Aguirre, the Wrath of God, in which Klaus Kinski played a crazed Conquistador. For "The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser", Herzog cast in the lead a man who had spent most of his life institutionalised, and two years later hypnotised his entire cast to make Heart of Glass. He rushed to an explosive volcanic Caribbean island to film La Soufriere, paid homage to F. W. Murnau in a terrifying remake of Nosferatu and in 1982 dragged a boat over a mountain in the Amazon jungle for Fitzcarraldo. More recently Herzog has made extraordinary 'documentary' films such as "Little Dieter Needs to Fly". His place in cinema history is assured. Paul Cronin's volume consists of an invaluable set of career-length interviews with the German genius once hailed by Francois Truffaut as the most important film director alive. It provides a forum for Herzog's fascinating views on the things, ideas and people that have preoccupied him for so many years.

Not knowing much about his films per se won't hold you from getting to know this philosophical virtuoso of life experience. Werner is indeed a good writer (apart from some too much calculated wording he uses, just like what I'm trying to write;) For his maxim of walking, and for his trying on those ranges, I hereby give my veneration.

評分重讀 song of life 一章,盈眶。
評分Fact creates norms, and truth illuminates. There are deeper strata of truth in cinema, and there is such a thing as poetic, ecstatic truth. It is mysterious and elusive, and can be reached only through fabrication and imagination and stylization.
評分One of most impressive opinnion about Herzog: he take the ski-jump champion as a most salient hero of the generation. An extremely radical but persuasive way to put athlete forward aesthetic, which accomplished a state of presentation into a pure condition of calm, strong, free expression of astonishment.
