		Born Werner Stipetic in Sachrang, Germany, Herzog studied history, literature and drama at Munich University, and in the United States at the University of Pittsburgh.
		In the film, which was shot in the Peruvian jungle, Herzog's camera moves at a slow, hypnotic pace, lingering on the dense terrain to convey a sense of doom.

	My Best Fiend
		Herzog definitely had a problem on his hands in working with Kinski, and the passage of time has not eased the ambiguity of their love-hate relationship.
		Herzog returns with his camera to the now-luxurious flat, showing the visibly appalled new owners exactly where Kinski greeted the mailman naked or locked himself in the bathroom for 48 hours, raging until everything was completely destroyed.
		Herzog is at one point reduced to threatening to kill Kinski if he abandons the shoot, but we are left to decide if he was dead serious or simply matching Kinski´s grandiosity.

		Werner Herzog One is a documentary, and the other is a science- fiction fantasy, a bit like ``Wild Blue Yonder.'' For that film I'll shoot in Antarctica and in Holland and probably Australia.
		Herzog may call his work a "science fiction fantasy," but his understanding of the phrase is as particular as the director.
		Werner Herzog: Zak and I were introduced by a common friend at the time when I was writing Rescue Dawn [who] advised me to get in touch with Zak because I was writing in English and I knew that my English isn’t that perfect.

	INTERVIEW: Patron Saint of Eccentrics, Werner Herzog and His "Best Fiend"
		In a collaboration that lasted for almost two decades and resulted in five movies, Herzog molded Kinski's madness into some of the most hypnotic performances ever captured on film, with an almost palpable intensity that to this day is rigorously unique.
		Herzog: Which was actually meant for the family album [laughs], but he released it anyway.
		Herzog: I like it because I think it's such a relief to see very young people move into totally new forms of imagery, of narration and storytelling.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Werner Herzog's Invincible
		Herzog performs his pas de deux with cinema around the wastebin of history, pushing himself, his cast and crew, as well as his audience, into the outer limits of endurance.
		Herzog’s use of non-actors in lead roles guarantees the film’s compass is always skewed, and his Weltschmerz, his weariness at the world and its ongoing historical delirium, illuminates each frame.
		Herzog is filmmaker as pacifist and dreamer and moralist, a storyteller with art history at his fingertips.

	Kinoeye\| German film: Werner Herzog's Nosferatu
		Herzog, the oldest of the trio, was born Werner Stipetic on 5 September 1942.
		The boon was a production budget of DEM 2.5 million (USD 1.4 million), the biggest in Herzog's career to that time, [7] along with an international release to existing syndicates and a cast and crew ready to risk the remake.
		Critic John Azzopardi has claimed that Herzog's Nosferatu is, "one of the greatest horror films ever made." [21] Though clearly a judgement call, his remark has merit, especially when one considers the picture itself and in particular the cinematography of Jörg Schmidt-Reitwein.

	Amazon.ca: Grizzly Man: DVD: Werner Herzog,Kathleen Parker,Timothy Treadwell,Jewel Palovak,Amie Huguenard,Warren ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Herzog was granted exclusive access to over 100 hours of video shot by amateur naturalist, wildlife advocate and troubled loner Timothy Treadwell, who spent 13 summers in Alaska's Katmai National Park, where he grew to know and love the grizzly bears that lived there.
		But Herzog narrates over footage of a bear, commenting, “I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature… and this blank stare speaks only of a half bored interest in food.” The score is as haunting as it is appropriate and the disc includes a 50-minute documentary on the making of the film’s music.
		Werner Herzog's documentary is spellbinding, both in its use of the film that Treadwell shot over the years and in its investigation of the inner workings of the man who would eventually be killed by one of the creatures with which he so desperately tried to identify and, perhaps, even "become."

	The Films of Werner Herzog
		He was born on the 5th of September, 1942 as Werner Stipetic, son of a Croatian father and a German mother, in Munich, but grew up on a farm in the German Alps.
		Though he chose to call himself “Herzog” a long, long time ago and does not seem to have had much contact with his father at all, he is still highly recognised in today’s Croatia.
		Herzog states that his soul feels nearest to the late Middle Ages and that he would dare to re-do Hamlet after Shakespeare.

	INTERVIEW: Strong Man on a Mission; Werner Herzog Talks About "Invincible"
		Herzog: There are only vague hints in his biography, and one of those hints was a poster that I saw where he first announced himself as The New Samson.
		Herzog: When we set up the market scene (which opens the film), it looked so authentic and there was so much attention to detail -- every person who does something was really doing it well.
		Herzog: Strangely enough, the very first films I saw didn't impress me. They were pretty lousy: documentaries on Eskimos building an igloo, with some sort of pompous commentary trying to make us believe that Eskimos still today live in igloos.

		Herzog, on the commentary track for the Nosferatu DVD, states a few times that Kinski went beserk on a few occasions, making all sorts of ridiculous demands.
		Date Posted: Jan 06, 2003 01:02 PM I do remember an anecdote by Herzog that a Native South American Tribe, either during the shoot of Fitzcaraldo or Aguirre, proposed to kill Kinski for Herzog because they thought he was demon posessed or something like that.
		Herzog is a true artist, if one chooses such a word to describe filmmakers.

	WAG: Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man
		Throughout his career, Herzog has been attracted to fringe figures who obsessively entertain strange, often quixotic ideas that strain against the limits posed by their humanity.
		One feels, ultimately, that Herzog is not merely undertaking a debate with his subjects but actively pursuing his own exorcism with them, at times.
		In a real sense, Herzog has become the star of his documentaries: we see him on camera, we listen to his soft, melancholy voice narrate and explain the images that flicker on the screen.

	Werner Herzog
		One of the most eccentric figures in the New German Cinema, Werner Herzog has been characterized as the "romantic visionary" of the movement as well as its most notorious self-promoter who possesses an almost legendary need to confront danger in making his films.
		"Film," Herzog insists, "is not the art of scholars, but of illiterates," and it is not surprising that his work has aroused contradictory responses.
		Given Herzog's obsession with quasi-mystical images and landscapes, it is not surprising that many consider his "documentaries" to be his best work.

		Werner Herzog creates a visually stunning and haunting portrait of obsession and madness in Aguirre: The Wrath of God.
		There is an ominous, impressionistic cadence to Werner Herzog's The Mystery of Kaspar Hauser: an obscured man in a rowboat, a woman rubbing clothes against a washboard, the sound of warbled music from a warped phonograph record.
		Herzog approaches Kaspar Hauser's story as a portrait of alienation and the inevitable tragedy of forced conformity, trivializing the political and conspiratorial specter that has often overshadowed the enigmatic young man's legacy.

	Werner Herzog Series \| Events \| Seattle International Film Festival
		Werner Herzogâs deeply personal, uncompromising documentaries and fiction films (Fata Morgana, Aguirre the Wrath of God, The Mystery of Kaspar Hauser, Heart of Glass, Fitzcarraldo) made him a pioneer of the New German Cinema in the 1970s and early 1980s.
		Herzogâs romantic quest to âfind new imagesâ imbues even his documentaries with the resonance of myth, as in 2005âs powerful Grizzly Man (shown at SIFF).
		Herzog calls this âthe sister film of The Wild Blue Yonder.â Itâs a breathtakingly beautiful experience of hell, as men dressed like astronauts try to extinguish the monstrous roaring columns of oil-well fires ignited by the Desert Storm war in Kuwait.

		Blank and Herzog are collaborators and friends, and after his short production, Herzog invited the filmmaker along to record the making of the troublesome shoot, considered one of the most difficult in the history of cinema.
		Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe, then, is the film that came in between—it is the epilogue to Morris’ film and the prologue to Blank’s.
		Herzog’s true depth, of course, is explored in Burden of Dreams, so it is appropriate that this, the opening chapter, is now a special feature on the Criterion Collection’s DVD of that film.

	Amazon.co.uk: Werner Herzog Box Set 2: DVD: Werner Herzog (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Enigma Of Kasper Hauser is Herzog's ultimate statement away from the more-iconic films he made with Kinski; a moving portrait of a mysterious young man found wandering the streets of Nuremberg with no name, no family, and no recollection of how he came to be.
		The usual Herzog archetypes, concerns and preoccupations are all apparent in these films, with his early opus, Even Dwarfs Started Small introducing the idea of the outcast, or the misunderstood outsider...
		It remains one of the most surreal cinematic experiences anyone is ever likely to have, with Herzog refusing to connect his images to any kind of obvious narrative, and instead, uses sound samples and pieces of music to impose a sense of story upon the viewer.

		Herzog’s held images stir epiphanies in his audiences as well; his poetry of stasis allows natural processes to wield their primal magic.
		Herzog claims, among other feats, to have smuggled TV sets across the Mexican border and ridden in rodeos to earn a living while at the University of Pennsylvania on a Fulbright scholarship.

		Strangely Herzog seems to underplay tension, an excellent example in Fitzcarraldo is when the boat is out of control in rapids we just see the boat spinning around, no scenes of frantic activity to try and correct the situation.
		I was recommended this in HMV without having even heard of Herzog and Kinski (I've only been exploring foreign cinema for a year now), and I bought it on the spot, and as far as the films are concerned I have not been disappointed.
		Herzog seems to be a master of directing cinematic beauty, and these five films show it.
