Few filmmakers loom as large as Werner Herzog. A defining voice of the New German Cinema movement, he has carved a distinctive path entirely his own, delivering truly mythic works that are a mix of fearless adventure and feverish dreams. Whether shot in the Amazon or Antarctica, he chases what he once famously called an “ecstatic truth” — we can hear that iconic Bavarian tone — as he often flits between fiction and documentary in ways that remain unmatched.
Showcasing one of the most vital filmographies in modern cinema, this latest course offers the ideal entry point into Herzog’s vast (and daunting) career, exploring landmark cinema in the shape of Aguirre, the Wrath of God and Fitzcarraldo, along with his ode to the roots of horror with Nosferatu the Vampyre and his powerful documentaries including the standout Grizzly Man.
