In this episode of the Director's Club, we take a look at the
unrestrainable visions of legendary German director Werner Herzog,
following his quest to give audiences a sense of the "ecstatic
truth" through his films. He'll use any tool at his disposal
to deliver this truth, from documentary techniques to hypnosis (and
if there isn't a tool, he'll make one himself!). We'll look
at how the films span the globe from the Amazon to the Sahara to
Wisconsin, and how his Muses of Madness Bruno S. and Klaus K.
enhance the journeys we take. What we can't do is fit all his
works in a single episode, so this will cover from his first film
"Signs of Life" through his 1987 film "Cobra Verde", and scattered
throughout are quotes from the "Soldier of Cinema" himself!
