Werner Herzog - Radical Dreamer Limited Edition Blu-Ray

Master filmmaker, auteur, poet, truth seeker, explorer, brand, meme, actor, acclaimed voice artist, doomsday prophet, legend... that's Werner Herzog. This is a man who is now 81 years old and who has pulled a 320-tonne boulder over a steep hill in Peru, who hypnotises his actors, climbs down volcanoes, talks to murderers on death row, cooks and eats his own shoe, and was once shot at. It is these moments, along with other stories and his involvement in everything from The Simpsons to The Mandalorian, that have made Herzog a cult figure around the world.

With exclusive behind-the-scenes access to Herzog's everyday life, rare archive footage, and in-depth interviews with the man himself and acclaimed collaborators—including Christian Bale, Nicole Kidman, and his wife Lena Herzog—we get an exciting glimpse into his work process and personal life. The film also features Joshua Oppenheimer, Robert Pattinson, Patti Smith, Carl Weathers, Wim Wenders, and Chloe Zhao. English, German
