Every Man for Himself and God Against All: Filmmaker Werner Herzog on his new memoir

Legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog discussed his long-anticipated memoir, “Every Man for Himself and God Against All” with Here & Now co-host Robin Young. Born in Munich during the Second World War, he grew up impoverished and isolated in the Bavarian countryside. Entirely self-taught, he made his first film at the age of 19 and went on to make the art-house classics “Fitzcarraldo,” “Aguirre, the Wrath of God" and the existential documentaries “Grizzly Man” and “Cave of Forgotten Dreams.”

I could listen to him talk 4ever

[@Exisles]

Me too; I would love to ask him what he really thinks about the source of those 'earwig' melodies that one cannot escape from.

[@romangherta2201]

Listened to the book on audible during my long walks. But the title I will never forget. I never thought I will enjoy reading a memoir. I am sure everyone will find himself in at least some part of Herzog's memoirs.

Cannot wait to read this - My favourite man alive.

Charming purposeful human or vessel or both.

I'd prefer the term repository myself.

[@jude999]

Date? Met him, very nice man.

[@Neptunion118]

No, I think he's happily married.

Werner needs to try magic mushrooms, acid or DMT in order to clarify his echoes from the sublime

[@joejohnson6327]

His brain is a magic mushroom.

[@frankmorris2400]

He keeps preaching to deaf ears...

[@frankmorris2400]

It's just life...

We had to take our destiny in our own hands..
