I Am My Films: A Portrait of Werner Herzog

“None of my films is cinema vérité. It’s only the simplest form of truth.” Herzog recalls youthful travels in Africa, “with rats nibbling my elbow”; opines on filmmaking: “humiliations are an essential part in making films;” and on working with actor Klaus Kinski: “temperamentally, he’s inclined to hysteria.” With clips from his features and documentaries from the 60s and 70s.
