Werner Herzog is one of the directors who has best developed his public persona - sometimes being better known than his work. Werner Herzog, Radical Dreamer seeks to reveal the filmmaker who hides behind his "brand image". With the participation and dedication of Herzog himself, Thomas Von Steinaecker builds a pointillist portrait of a total artist: legendary director, writer and poet, politician and destabilizer, lunatic and prophet of doom, actor and internet meme. Owner of the most iconic of accents, Herzog is much more than the director of Fitzcarraldo and Aguirre, he's a filmmaker who films with his teeth. And when he bites, he doesn't let go!

Werner Herzog, Radical Dreamer premiered at the Telluride Film Festival and was shown at IDFA, CPH:DOX and Viennale.
