Review of Werner Herzog: Radical Dreamer (2022)
Seen in 2026.
Review refers to the 58-minute version aired on SVT’s K special in 2026.
Werner Herzog.
The shorter cut leaves a wide gap between Fitzcarraldo (1982) and Herzog’s later career in the US, symbolized by Grizzly Man (2005). It is ironic in that context that even the shorter cut has the man’s third wife, Lena Herzog, commenting on the fact that his European fans know him mainly for his early work while US fans know him mainly for his US work. Radical Dreamer itself could have filled in the gap.
