Werner Herzog. The man who had a 320-ton steamboat hauled over a steep hill in Peru, who hypnotizes his actors, climbs down into volcanoes, talks to murderers on death row, cooks and eats his own shoe and was shot at. It is stories such as these that have made this remarkable director a cult figure the world over. With exclusive behind-the-scenes access into Herzog’s everyday life, rare archive material and interviews, the documentary presents a comprehensive portrait of an iconic artist of our time.
