Werner Herzog x 5

This cycle offers an opportunity to revisit the first period in the work of the prolific Werner Herzog, when he was establishing himself as one of the great names of new German cinema. From Bavaria to the Sahara, the filmmaker was already alternating between fiction and documentary to explore the themes that would be central in his work. With a dark romanticism, a biting eye and an epic breath, he examines the extreme experiences of existence, from ecstatic quests to the tipping point into madness, via the otherness of beings and the hostility of wide-open spaces.
