Where it came from
Written by Danish film critic and journalist Kristoffer Hegnsvad, this book was published in 2021 by Reaktion Books as part of their Critical Lives series. The work serves as a comprehensive examination of the life and career of German filmmaker Werner Herzog, exploring the themes of nature, obsession, and the blurring of lines between documentary and fiction that characterize his extensive filmography.
Hegnsvad approached the project by analyzing Herzog’s unique approach to 'ecstatic truth,' a concept central to the director's philosophy. The book synthesizes biographical elements with a critical assessment of his cinematic techniques and personal mythology, aiming to provide a scholarly yet accessible perspective on a director who has often been subject to more superficial caricatures.
