New podcast—our first conversation about Werner Herzog at the American Cinema Foundation, the most famously Nietzsche-inspired artist in cinema, who’s still alive, let it be known, & recently turned 81. So this is something of a celebration of his impressive work: We went back 51 years to the beginning of his career, to his great success at the age of 30, Aguirre, a 1972 movie, a wild movie about a wild man. The triumph & madness of the colonial empires, of modern man, the return to origins implied in the conquest of the world. Death on the Amazon, the river & forest as primordial enemies of man. Enjoy!
