It explores the director's continuing search for what he has described as 'ecstatic truth,' drawing on over thirty-five films, from the epics <I>Aguirre: Wrath of God</I> (1972) and <I>Fitzcarraldo</I> (1982) to innovative documentaries like <I>Fata Morgana</I> (1971), <I>Lessons of Darkness</I> (1992), and <I>Grizzly Man</I> (2005). Special attention is paid to Herzog's signature style of cinematic composition, his "romantic" influences, and his fascination with madmen, colonialism, and war.</P> 419228 13 9 2007 The Cinema of Werner Herzog: Aesthetic Ecstasy and Truth (Directors' Cuts) total:15|5:6|4:7|3:2| 15 64 30 5 4 0 false false Tue Aug 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 17 14:20:48 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 04 14:28:55 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jul 22 05:11:58 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 05:14:11 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Aug 11 20:18:40 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 11 20:18:40 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Wed Mar 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Feb 24 18:58:20 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 24 19:05:19 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sun Mar 16 12:25:41 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 16 12:28:37 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Oct 25 11:16:58 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 11:16:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 13 08:32:53 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 08:32:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 12 19:08:21 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 19:08:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 11 11:04:42 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 11:04:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 08 19:33:53 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 19:33:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 31 02:35:06 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 02:35:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 31 01:29:43 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 01:29:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 28 22:30:39 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 22:30:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 12 09:53:34 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 09:53:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 26 08:43:45 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 26 08:43:45 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jun 13 11:16:47 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 11:16:47 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun May 10 12:00:33 -0700 2009 Sun May 10 12:00:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 02 01:55:20 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 01:55:20 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Feb 15 16:54:48 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 09:10:05 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 16:54:48 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Dec 02 12:58:56 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 02 12:58:59 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=430248
