Films such as Aguirre, the roth of God and Fitzcarraldo, with his alter-ego Klaus Kinski as the protagonist, together with other +50 feature films, documentaries and medium-length films have made Werner Herzog one of the most significant authors in the history of cinema of all time. A career that began in his twenties, after literary studies undertaken in Munich, where he was born in 1942, and Pittsburgh. He’s also the author of important books such as Of walking in Ice, Conquest of the useless and the recent The twilight world, where he investigates a real story with his usual, refined sharpness.
