Werner Herzog (born 1942) [1] is a German filmmaker whose films often feature ambitious or deranged protagonists with impossible dreams. [2] [3] Herzog's works span myriad genres and mediums, but he is particularly well known for his documentary films, which he typically narrates. [4]

Contents

In 1962, Herzog made his directorial debut with the German-language short Herakles . His feature film debut— Signs of Life (1968)—garnered him the Silver Bear at Berlinale. [5] Six years later, Herzog's The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (1974) won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival. [6] Starting in this period, Herzog collaborated with actor Klaus Kinski on five films, Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979), Woyzeck (1979), Fitzcarraldo (1982), and Cobra Verde (1987). [2] Fitzcarraldo won Herzog the Best Director Award at Cannes. [7] His tumultuous relationship with Kinski was the subject of Herzog's 1999 documentary My Best Fiend . [8] Herzog directed two films in 2009, My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done and the Nicolas Cage-starring Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans , [9] both of which were nominated for a Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. [10] He has directed a number of other fictional feature films as well as shorts.

Herzog made his documentorial debut with 1969's The Flying Doctors of East Africa . In his documentaries, Herzog often explores the "moral or existential abyss", commonly in nature. [11] His first documentary to screen at Cannes, Fata Morgana (1971), for instance, pairs footage of barren African desert landscapes with a recitation of the Mayan creation myth, the Popol Vuh. [12] [13] Similarly, Herzog's film Lessons of Darkness (1992) matches Richard Wagner overtures with documentation of the Gulf War's wake of chaos and destruction in Kuwait. [14] [15] Lessons of Darkness was criticized for its supposed "aestheticizing" of war. [16] As with his fictional works, Herzog's documentaries also examine nonconformists outside conventional society, [17] such as Timothy Treadwell in his 2005 documentary Grizzly Man . [17] [18] Herzog studied the pilot Dieter Dengler in his 1997 documentary Little Dieter Needs to Fly , which he later remade into the 2006 feature film Rescue Dawn starring Christian Bale. [11] The following year, his exploration of the lives of scientists in Antarctica—2007's Encounters at the End of the World —garnered him an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary. [19] [20] For his 2018 documentary Meeting Gorbachev , Herzog had extensive interviews with the Soviet leader. [21] He has directed dozens of other documentaries, including shorts and television segments.

In addition to his own works, Herzog has appeared in other projects, including as the narrator or subject of documentaries and mockumentaries. He has appeared in two Les Blank documentaries, including Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe (1980), in which he eats his shoe after losing a bet to then-college student Errol Morris, [22] and Burden of Dreams , shot during and about the chaotic filming of Herzog's Fitzcarraldo. [23] Herzog has also appeared in commercial films and television series, often portraying villains, [24] such as in the 2012 Tom Cruise film Jack Reacher , [25] or, in 2019, The Mandalorian . [26] He has made cameo appearances in The Simpsons , Parks and Recreation , and other television series.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Werner Herzog</span> German director, producer, screenwriter (born 1942)

Werner Herzog is a German filmmaker, actor, opera director, and author. Regarded as a pioneer of New German Cinema, his films often feature ambitious protagonists with impossible dreams, people with unusual talents in obscure fields, or individuals in conflict with nature.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Roger Ebert</span> American film critic and author (1942–2013)

Roger Joseph Ebert was an American film critic, film historian, journalist, essayist, screenwriter and author. He was the film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death in 2013. Ebert was known for his intimate, Midwestern writing style and critical views informed by values of populism and humanism. Writing in a prose style intended to be entertaining and direct, he made sophisticated cinematic and analytical ideas more accessible to non-specialist audiences. Ebert endorsed foreign and independent films he believed would be appreciated by mainstream viewers, championing filmmakers like Werner Herzog, Errol Morris and Spike Lee, as well as Martin Scorsese, whose first published review he wrote. In 1975, Ebert became the first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism. Neil Steinberg of the Chicago Sun-Times said Ebert "was without question the nation's most prominent and influential film critic," and Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times called him "the best-known film critic in America." Per The New York Times, "The force and grace of his opinions propelled film criticism into the mainstream of American culture. Not only did he advise moviegoers about what to see, but also how to think about what they saw."
