Herzog at the 1991 Venice International Film Festival

Werner Herzog (born 1942)[1] is a German filmmaker. A figure of the New German Cinema, Herzog's films often feature ambitious protagonists with impossible dreams,[2] people with unique talents in obscure fields, or individuals who are in conflict with nature.[3]

He collaborated with actor Klaus Kinski on five films, Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979), Woyzeck (1979), Fitzcarraldo (1982), and Cobra Verde (1987). His relationship with Kinski was the subject of Herzog's 1999 documentary My Best Fiend. Fitzcarraldo garnered Herzog the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Director. He directed the 2005 documentary Grizzly Man. In 2009, Herzog directed Nicolas Cage in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. In 2016, he directed two documentaries, Into the Inferno and Lo and Behold. For his 2018 documentary Meeting Gorbachev, Herzog had extensive interviews with the Soviet leader.
