Overview

His is a career against all the odds. To this day, Herzog speaks English with a Bavarian accent. His films are held in high esteem amongst connoisseurs but aren’t exactly box office hits with mass audiences. And while he has risen to stardom in his adopted country, the US, in Germany, the country of his birth, of all places, he has had it harder, and still does. Here he’s considered a well-kept secret, and many of his films never made it into cinemas.
