Werner Herzog - Radical Dreamer

Summary

Documentary about filmmaker Werner Herzog, whose films like "Fitzcarraldo" or "Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes" ("Aguirre, the Wrath of God") are classics and have long been part of the collective cinema memory. In 2009, the news magazine Time named him one of the 100 most influential people of our time - and despite his advanced age, Herzog continues to make films tirelessly. The film accompanies him on shoots on Lanzarote and in his Upper Bavarian home village of Sachrang, and follows him all the way to Los Angeles, where he has lived for many years. In addition to Herzog himself, his wife Lena and his brothers have their say, as well as companions such as Wim Wenders and Volker Schlöndorff, and Hollywood stars with whom he has worked, including Nicole Kidman, Christian Bale and Robert Pattinson.
