Werner Herzog

Werner Herzog was born in 1942 in Munich. Still an infant, he was taken by his mother, who was fleeing the bombing, to the Bavarian village of Sachrang, where he grew up without running water or a telephone. Back in Munich, he began a first short film at nineteen and made his first feature film in 1967. He directed Klaus Kinski in five films and later devoted a documentary to their stormy collaboration. In parallel he has built up an abundant body of documentary work and has published several books.
