It explores the director's continuing search for what he has described as 'ecstatic truth, ' drawing on over thirty-five films, from the epics \u003ci\u003eAguirre: Wrath of God\u003c\/i\u003e (1972) and \u003ci\u003eFitzcarraldo\u003c\/i\u003e (1982) to innovative documentaries like \u003ci\u003eFata Morgana\u003c\/i\u003e (1971), \u003ci\u003eLessons of Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e (1992), and \u003ci\u003eGrizzly Man\u003c\/i\u003e (2005). Special attention is paid to Herzog's signature style of cinematic composition, his \"romantic\" influences, and his fascination with madmen, colonialism, and war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brad Prager\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1905674171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781905674176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wallflower Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.36w x 0.70d","brand":"Brad Prager","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125524197631,"sku":"9781905674176","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_71b84ca2-be08-4460-b559-c6d5779d7cf2.jpg?v=1687443117","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cinema-of-werner-herzog-brad-prager-9781905674176","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
