WERNER HERZOG BOOK SIGNING AT BOOK SOUP

Meet legendary filmmaker and one of my personal heroes, Werner Herzog, for the signing of his recently released English translation of “Conquest of the Useless: Reflections from the Making of Fitzcarraldo.” Though Herzog once remarked, “Film is not the art of scholars, but of illiterates,” he managed to write a diary from 1979-1981 filled with poetry and prose about the excessive and insane process of shooting “Fitzcarraldo.”
