He’s always been a busy bee. In-between Werner Herzog’s canonical ‘70s/‘80s fiction features — the heady fare of AGUIRRE, STROSZEK, THE ENIGMA OF KASPAR HAUSER, NOSFERATU, WOYZECK and FITZCARRALDO — his infinite energy allowed for him to create a parallel track of documentary shorts furthering his obsession with the moral and existential abyss. Originally produced for German television, these shorts (averaging 45 minutes each) overflow with humor, heart, indelible images and Herzog’s own unforgettable voiceovers. This epic five-film program has been sequenced for maximum emotional impact. You’ll see monumental works of nature, the dark heart of the American Dream and the outer limits of the human experience. This is Herzog On 45.
