Book Description
An invaluable set of career-length interviews with the German genius hailed by François Truffaut as “the most important film director alive”
Most of what we’ve heard about Werner Herzog is untrue. The sheer number of false rumors and downright lies disseminated about the man and his films is truly astonishing. Yet Herzog’s body of work is one of the most important in postwar European cinema.
His international breakthrough came in 1973 with Aguirre, The Wrath of God, in which Klaus Kinski played a crazed Conquistador. For The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, Herzog cast in the lead a man who had spent most of his life institutionalized, and two years later he hypnotized his entire cast to make Heart of Glass. He rushed to an explosive volcanic Caribbean island to film La Soufrière, paid homage to F. W. Murnau in a terrifying remake of Nosferatu, and in 1982 dragged a boat over a mountain in the Amazon jungle for Fitzcarraldo. More recently, Herzog has made extraordinary “documentary” films such as Little Dieter Needs to Fly. His place in cinema history is assured, and Paul Cronin’s volume of dialogues provides a forum for Herzog’s fascinating views on the things, ideas, and people that have preoccupied him for so many years.

Enjoy several hundred pages of swimming around in Werner Herzog's supple mind..........2006-12-20
Author Paul Cronin was only too hasty to warn us well in advance that we were going to find Herzog's occasional mental departures and extemporizing to be a slight annoyance (I'm paraphrasing, so please don't be upset, Mr. Cronin). But I hardly agreed. I found WH's jumps and false starts, etc., to be some of the most gratifying and precious content of this book. It was like having a fireside chat with Herzog--a private one-on-one session over several cups of coffee or whiskey--learning about what makes one of the better-known idea-men on the planet tick. What fires his Teutonic cauldron. I can only be too thankful that Werner was happy to finally engage in a project as noble as this one, as you'll read in the opening pages of this work that it almost *didn't* happen.
Myths.
I'm beginning to learn that most of what we consider to be true in this life is comprised mostly of myths and heapful conjecture, and that people prefer to accept third-hand information from others in respect of a particular person, instead of merely talking to them themselves. Take the storied rivalry between famed brat-actor Klaus Kinski and Mr. Herzog. So much has been written and said about these two. So much excavating around in the rubbish pit has been done in respect of these two famous/infamous personalities, that's it's truly hard to know just *what* to believe anymore. Inside these pages, Herzog sets the record straight.
That's one of the reasons why I grooved along with this book so much.
Then there were the didactic filmmaking elements. The nitty-gritties. The real deal. There were the aspects of the process of making a film, and those oh-so-distillable quotables...you know, the ones filmmakers like to post all around their production offices in big bold black and red lettering that masquerade as Western-versions of Communist-era sloganeering, yes? Herzog had many of them, and like most things with an ideological bent I was truly inspired (and will continue to remain so). Don't you just love ideology? You begin to understand the wild-eyed genius of the man, the strength of his convictions, and what someone will do--a director in this particular instance--to fulfill his noble dream. He'll literally "eat his boots." Herzog in fact did so as a promise to one of his documentary-making colleagues, I kid you not! Herzog really lived up to his word, and ate his shoes after boiling them until nice and tender. He even cut it up into little pieces, and washed it down with a good beer. (Maybe it was a Pilsner?).
Is this a common trait nowadays?
I'm not too sure how to answer that, friends, for any answer I may give would surely smack of cliche and triteness.
But the economics of the matter...and with the insane standards of living in certain Western cities, I'm not surprised that the formerly lofty bastions of principle-land are even for sale. I mean, we can't all be monks and hermits, and sustain ourselves merely on rations of peanut butter sandwiches, or beans, or mac 'n cheese, or soon-to-be-fulfilled promises. Humans need more, or at least they think they do. Herzog is a shining example that what I've just written is a bunch of bunk. And thank goodness for that.
Blow through the read, and you'll suddenly find yourself being uplifted by this man and his ostensible message. You'll quickly realize that this isn't a puff piece, and I believe that if Herzog had to revert to his salad-day lifestyle, where he'd pull such insane stints as walking clear along the easternmost frontier of the former West Germany to prove his point about German national unity during the Cold War, you somehow start to fall for the man. There's an earnestness to his lines that doesn't reek of that similar puff action you get from those who've achieved much less and with much more lucrative resouces.
This is now the fifth "Directors on Themselves" book I've read, and I'm so grateful for having stumbled across this series one fine day on a walkabout in a bookshop. Not a day goes by now without me reverting back to a thought or two about something I'd read in these books. I suppose that's the best we can hope for when it comes to books, anyways...to remember just one fine thing about them. To be inspired by something your eyes might have come across and to bring it out and use it to your advantage when you least expected it to be there. Though thanks to the complex inner-workings of your mind, that's just how certain things work. They clobber you when you need them. Perhaps one day we will truly appreciate the mind muscle, and how it fires off.
Herzog emphasizes in his work the triple notions of iron commitment, ironclad word, and rock-solid honour.
He stands by all of these, and has witnessed more than his fair share of calamity on his various film sets in standing behind them. Being "iron" in all three of the above-mentioned disciplines doesn't always result in a rosy outlook and a happy ending. Sometimes keeping your word means the spilling of blood for the various members of both cast and crew, and there were more than a few injuries and the occasional casulalty or two on a Herzog set, I'm not kidding here either. I'm not going to deny that perhaps this also has something to do with Herzog's Bavarian heritage. Indeed, it's in the blood and something must be mentioned about the robustness of the gene code. I mention this statement without any preconceived ideas, and dear readers, please take it for what it is. It's a fact. Germans are disciplinarians.
But Herzog is clear on one thing: if you aren't willing to go to war to make your films, you're not willing to be a filmmaker. Making films is all about blood, guts, and gore. Heaps of sweat and lots of heartache, and perhaps in the process you manage to keep control of some of the work you've assembled, and manage to maintain the rights to it as well. Herzog's been clever about his choices since starting out on this journey, however. He's established himself such that he never relinquished control to the baddies, and never said "namaste" to the more corporatized film elements. For that I'm grateful. He serves as a stellar and shining example, and I recommend this book as required--or at least on the supplemental list--of reading material for a given film school. Think about it...think about the masses of super-enthused filmmakers who would emerge as a result. Think about the quality of the films they'd shoot as well...
Talking points all.
Doubtless, folks, this is a five-star read. You're going to learn a lot from it, as I did and do.
Hand on the heart,
ADM from Prague
splendid.......2006-08-24
herzog manages to spend his entire life getting into adventures. and the stories he relates make you wonder how much is exaggeration, or even made up. either way, it is a fascinating read. this book will appeal to those not necessarily attracted to his films in particular, and for those who are keen on his work i would say this was essential. as a prolific filmmaker and adventure-getter-into, his life is inspiring in that it makes me want to get off my arse and do something challenging and life affirming. or maybe i'll just lie in bed and read the book one more time!
The Enigma of Werner Herzog.......2006-06-23
One of the unfortunate things for fans of Werner Herzog's cinema is the rather feeble and pathetic array of literature there is out there. Timothy Corrigan's essential Herzog book "The Films of Werner Herzog: Beyond Mirage and History" has been out of print for some years and besides, only covers Herzog's career up to 1985. If you don't have access to academic journals and university libraries the alternative is to pay through the nose. A definitive study of the great man's films is required. Cronin's book kind of fills that gap as it does at least deal with most of Herzog's important works. The interest of this book comes from the fact that it a book of interviews and Herzog's views are both illuminating and interesting. I could almost here his hypnotic German accent as I read it. However, a lot of old ground is trodden over and if any reader is looking for new and exciting tales of the raving Klaus Kinski, they will be disappointed. Many of the anecdotes and comments Herzog comes out with are repeated in My Best Fiend (1999) and on a number of commentary tracks for his DVD's. Far more interesting are his comments on less known films such as "Ballad of the Little Soldier" (1984), "Echoes From a Sombre Empire" (1990) and "The Dark Glow of the Mountains" (1984). So many myths have sprung up around Herzog and his work, that perhaps now, mostly due to documentation and the media they feel somewhat stilted and stale. Herzog is at his best when expounding his own theories on the effects of cinema, and in his rants against academia. But its clear the man has a philosophy and goal which he is trying to achieve through the medium of cinema, not simply a director making money and then moving on to the next thing. Cronin's questions are in the main insightful, but at times he comes across in the same way as Herzog himself did in one of his best films "The Ecstasy of the Woodcarver Steiner" (1974) as an excitable and breathless fan. Overall, an interesting and thought provoking read and probably one of the best in this ongoing range by Faber and Faber, the other I recommend is the David Lynch one. But this book does sit rather strangely with Herzog and it wasn't something I ever expected him to do.
Good look into Herzog's noggin.......2005-09-14
A bit like pulling teeth, this book starts with Herzog writing he is a somewhat unwilling participant in the process. A few parts her I have read recounted other places, but there is more than enough on the making of individual fiilms. A good, concise book.
HEART WARMING AND TOTALLY ESSENTIAL.......2005-09-11
This amazing book is a must read for anyone who enjoy's The great man's films, as well as anyone who...you know what, I'm moved to say that this book is essential reading for all humans. Herzog inspires on each page, whether it be by his own personal experience or by the bombastic words that he barks onto the page.
I actually read this book for the first time (I've been through it 5 or 6 times now) right after my father abandoned my family to live with his new wife in cancun. I guess I was going through a rough time, maybe I needed a more stable father figure or something. Well, my therapist, the great Dr. Tucker, advised that I try Herzog to fill that void, and the mans films completely changed my life. This book is a treasure trove of information and inspiration for fans of Herzog himself or the film medium in general. True story: I work with autistic children on the middle school level, and this one boy Justin started looking through this book when I set it down from reading it on a break. He found the book so engaging that I let him take it home to finish (loaning things out to these kids is always a bad idea, but I figured I'd give it a shot)...long story short, little Justin came back to class the next day, and overnight his speech improved so dramatically that my aide called it a miracle. Anyway, if you're thinking about buying this book you will not be sorry of you do, because if you don't read this as soon as possible you are going to be really sorry. I hope this helped, and HAPPY READING!!!!

This is not a book for the squeamish. Disturbingly violent, sexual, and despairing, it is the autobiographical confession of an eternally restless man. It is the life story of Klaus Kinski, the superb screen actor who died in 1991. Kinski, who played in memorable films by David Lean, Sergio Leone, and Billy Wilder, is best known for his roles in Werner Herzog's Aguirre: The Wrath of God and Nosferatu the Vampyre. With graphic detail, Kinski narrates his excessive sexual exploits and fanatical adoration of his son. This book unravels the pitch-dark inner life of an actor who specialized in playing insane people, a man who well understood the psychology of the characters he portrayed.

Real but Raunchy.......2007-08-01
You need to be a true Klaus Kinski fan to get past his vulgar descriptions of all his sexual experiences, but you do get a real insight into what makes Klaus tick. Despite his wanting to NOT be the stereotypical "hard to work with actor," HE WAS! Moody, and very hard to work with, it's amazing he got work at all. Despite, his simplistic and often smutty writing style, it's worth the read, just to get into the mind of the actor-Kinski...
The most debasing autobiography ever written.......2007-03-23
Kinski Uncut is nothing shy of probably the most shameless life ever described on the page. For Kinski there is no humiliation is saying that he is a machine who has done every actress or female he has met, giving them babies and just then walking away. Kinski demeans everyone about him including his family and degrades society to a monstrously outlandish category of stupidity.
Kinski describes himself as simply genius and naturally talented as an actor in demand who has been ever chased by the government for not paying taxes. Between bouts of prison on tax evasion charges and how he can have any role he pleases, he boosts of everything in a skirt which he has touched including mothers and daughters at the same time... while even contemplating grandma. Kinski Uncut is filth. The man is walking defilement. He is emotionally impaired. He is an adulterer and corrupt, driven by an unparalleled egomania.
This novel reads like an embarrassment. The indignity of this man and his pride knows no bounds. Most of the pages are very uncomfortable and unsettling. Yes hysterically funny at times and the descriptions are up there with the likes of Kafka or Poe but we are still mortified by the fact that this is a man who was considered a very fine actor who when paired with the art house director Werner Herzog brought genre defining epics to Cannes.
The key here to understanding Kinski Uncut is to also see "My Best Fiend" by Herzog, a documentary about his pal Kinski who passed away in 1991 from heart failure, in which he tells us some important things about Kinski. Kinski is a liar. In short "Kinski Uncut" is probably 95% fiction except for the parts Kinski couldn't lie about, there are wives mentioned who do not exist and actors and actresses who do not exist either. So the question is why did Kinski leave such writings behind him? Why defame himself with such open barbarity? Why offend us?
The truth is simply this... it made Kinski feel big. Hell it made him feel like a giant to shock us all with his smear campaign against God and humanity. Everyone else was a load of stinking brown smelly stuff, open to criticize and as for those he could get something from, they were his for the taking... and he took. Kinski is all about himself. It did not matter what he said or did as long as it was about him. So here we find ourselves reading trees killed for layers of lies because the man wanted our attention from beyond the grave.
While it isn't exactly encouraging to know that this is a work of fiction, this is still for Kinski or Herzog completists. If you like Kinski's work or Herzog then don't stop and get this today. You will enjoy it. However "My Best Fiend" is heaps better.
A Masterpiece .......2006-12-06
When I started reading this book,I could not put it down.I was so amazed by it.I thought it was one of the greatest autobiographies I have ever read.Anybody who is a Klaus Kinski fan should pick up this book and read it.People who are not fans of his or don`t even know who is sould read this masterpiece of book.This book is written by Kinski himself.This book is not readable by everybody.Some people may think it is complete trash.I think it is complete gold.
The book goes through the poverty Kinski suffered with as a child up to his rise as a great german actor.Of course there is way more to the book than that.It tells about his three wives and his three children.One of the children being the famous actress Nastassja Kinski.It tells about that,but most of the book spotlights on his sex life.
He sure did have a lot of sex.It cheated constantly on all of his wives.It talks about so many different encounters with women it will make your head spin.One of my favorite parts of the book is when he talks about a stewardess on a plane and how the go into the airplane`s bathroom.Kinski sure explains and describes all of it.He sure does have a filthy mouth.I was about to die from laughter when I read his dirty filthy mouth.It also talks about an incest relationship with his sister.
I could see why so many women did make love with him. I was a really sexy man.He was one of the most talented actors ever.I thought he should of gotten bigger roles than he did.I have watched a ton of his movies,I have loved all of them.He had so much sex appeal that a lot of women like me are turned on by.I was sad to find out that he died of a heart attack in 1991.I think this book is must read.I love Klaus Kinski
Powerful autobiography of tortured actor.......2005-10-28
Kinski's autobiography is the life of a tortured human who cannot be fullfilled or find peace without his other half...Minhoi and their son.
This book is definately not pornographic as many people describe it. Those people miss the point that with his Don Juanism Kinski is trying to fill his need for relationship to other beings. His descriptions, that go beyond mentioning a sexual contact, are loving and tender. They also give testament to his need for love and attachment.
His description of a liason with an older prostitute is filled with tenderness for her and her situation. He tries to give her some love and feeling of being wanted as a person, not just as a sexual object.
His relationship with Minhoi is one of complete mutual dependence and deep love between two people. But because of his need to be with her at every minute the marriage is destroyed but not the mutual love.
This is a beautiful and tragic story of one person's longing to belong but unable to attain that which he most desires.
A dirty, filthy little man.......2004-08-09
I'm a big fan of biographies, namely because, as the saying goes , truth is stranger than fiction. The only bios I don't bother with are the ones about writers, who tend to generally lead pretty boring lives. Klaus Kinski was an internationally reknowned actor, from Poland, who did his best work in the 60s and 70s, mostly with German director Werner Herzog. I must say that this is one of the most bizarre bios I've ever read. It's basically Kinski spewing forth his thoughts on art (which he views with impossible idealism), other actors and artists (whom he pretty much spits on) and the rest of book is basically about his sex life. Its an absolutely hilarious book. Kinski goes on and on about hundreds of sexual encounters, claiming that he has a vast love for people that he just can't contain, so it manifests itself sexually. He doesn't spare us many details (one of my favourite recollections is about his encounter with some giant woman with an abundant moustache). Honestly, I don't believe the guy. He has this hint of machismo that makes it seem like he's lying about his virility. It's not a very flattering autobiography either. Kinski was a restless, irresponsible cad who cared only about himself. He left his women high and dry on numerous occasions and even describes his daughter, Nastassja, as a good reason to allow retroactive abortions. The guy was thoroughly despicable and full of delusions of his own grandeur, but it's a fascinating read. Definitely a summer beach read as you won't expend much brain power. Read it and laugh at how someone willingly and foolishly goes about destroying his own life. Fun stuff.
Book Description
Werner Herzog is renowned for pushing the boundaries of conventional cinema, especially those between the fictional and the factual, the fantastic and the real. The Cinema of Werner Herzog: Aesthetic Ecstasy and Truth is the first study in twenty years devoted entirely to an analysis of Herzog's work. It explores the director's continuing search for what he has described as 'ecstatic truth,' drawing on over thirty-five films, from the epics Aguirre: Wrath of God (1972) and Fitzcarraldo (1982) to innovative documentaries like Fata Morgana (1971), Lessons of Darkness (1992), and Grizzly Man (2005). Special attention is paid to Herzog's signature style of cinematic composition, his "romantic" influences, and his fascination with madmen, colonialism, and war.

Book Description
Eduardo Souto de Moura (*1952 in Porto) arbeitete schon während seines Architekturstudiums bei Alvaro Siza. Seit 1980 hat er ein eigenes Büro in Porto. Heute zählt Souto de Moura mit seinen puristisch-stimmungsvollen Bauten zu den bekanntesten Architekten der iberischen Halbinsel und genießt internationale Anerkennung. "Ich begann quasi bei null und habe mich auf das Essentielle in der Architektur konzentriert. Das grundlegendste Element ist selbstredend die Mauer." Souto de Moura gelingt dabei die Verbindung der Steinmetztradition Portugals mit abstraktmodernen Bauformen, wobei Architekturen von bezwingender Schönheit entstehen. Werner Blaser vermittelt, mit seinem sicheren Gespür für das Nicht-Zeit-gebundene und Überdauernde, einen inspirierenden Querschnitt durch Souto de Mouras Schaffen mit besonderer Berücksichtigung des Bauelements Stein.
Book Description
Werner Herzog was born Werner H. Stipetic in Munich on September 5, 1942. He grew up in a remote mountain village in Bavaria and never saw any films, television, or telephones as a child. He started traveling on foot from the age of 14. He made his first phone call at the age of 17. During high school he worked the night shift as a welder in a steel factory to produce his first films and made his first one in 1961 at the age of 19. Since then he has produced, written, and directed more than 40 films--including Fitzcarraldo, Nosferatu, Cobra Verde, Even Dwarves Started Small, My Best Fiend, and Aguirre, the Wrath of God--published more than a dozen books of prose, and directed as many operas. This publication presents Herzog through essays by friends and colleagues like actress Claudia Cardinale, who starred in Fitzcarraldo, and German director Volker Schlandorff, as well as through photographs by cinematographer Beat Presser, many of them never before published.

As co-translator and writer of the book's English language adaptation, I recommend that this Tanam Press edition be rejected as illegitimate, due to grievous editing errors on almost every page. The more recent Jonathan Cape (UK) edition is far superior, being closer both to Werner's vision and that of my original English adaptation.
