It explores the director's continuing search for what he has described as 'ecstatic truth, ' drawing on over thirty-five films, from the epics \u003ci\u003eAguirre: Wrath of God\u003c\/i\u003e (1972) and \u003ci\u003eFitzcarraldo\u003c\/i\u003e (1982) to innovative documentaries like \u003ci\u003eFata Morgana\u003c\/i\u003e (1971), \u003ci\u003eLessons of Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e (1992), and \u003ci\u003eGrizzly Man\u003c\/i\u003e (2005). Special attention is paid to Herzog's signature style of cinematic composition, his \"romantic\" influences, and his fascination with madmen, colonialism, and war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3796674\"\u003eBrad Prager\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wallflower Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.36w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781905674176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1905674171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PER\"\u003ePerforming Arts\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PER004030\"\u003eFilm | History \u0026amp; Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrad Prager is assistant professor of film studies and German studies at the University of Missouri-Columbia, and the author of \u003ci\u003eWriting Images: Aesthetic Vision and German Romanticism\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wallflower Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44562409488621,"sku":"9781905674176","price":43.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_f1807e5f-f353-48e4-9f4b-011580442e11.jpg?v=1701830699","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-cinema-of-werner-herzog-aesthetic-ecstasy-and-truth-9781905674176","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
