Werner Herzog turns the camera on himself in this 1986 short, narrating his own life and career rather than sitting for someone else's interview. He talks through his upbringing, his early obsession with filmmaking, and the string of productions that built his reputation for chasing difficult, sometimes dangerous shoots in remote locations. Clips from his features appear alongside his own commentary, giving a sense of how he saw his work at the midpoint of his career, well before the wider international fame that arrived in the following decades. The format is plain: Herzog speaking directly, footage illustrating his points, no outside narrator shaping the story for him. For anyone who knows him mainly through later interviews and documentaries about him, this is a chance to hear him account for himself, in his own words, at a much earlier stage of the career that made him famous.
