“Calling a film-maker a ‘dreamer’ sounds hackneyed, but it does justice to his idealism. Perhaps no other description will do” The Guardian

Existential disruptor testing the boundaries of sanity and possibility, or ‘just a good soldier of cinema’? This entertaining biography traces the career of Werner Herzog, using previously unseen film excerpts, archive footage, and interviews with himself and those who have worked and lived with him. Idealist, risk taker, dissident. To use his own words: ‘Let’s see what happens’.
