Description
Werner Herzog doesn't write traditional screenplays; he writes fever dreams brimming with madness, greed, humour, and dark isolation that can shift dramatically during production. These fever dreams have materialised into extraordinary masterpieces unlike anything in film today.
Harnessing his vision and transcendent reality, these four pieces of long-form prose earmark a renowned filmmaker at the dawn of his career.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
"A compulsively readable, probing collection. It’s equal parts challenging and satisfying, infuriating and enlightening." — Publishers Weekly
"Herzog seems to peer nonstop into the abyss combining vainglory, cruelty, and madness. Those are the coordinates at which Herzog geolocates humanity." — BookForum
"Scenarios contains more than merely dialogue in cold type. Herzog’s screenplays read like novellas—the characters are fully thought-out and the settings vividly described." — Shepherd Express
"Herzog doesn’t write traditional scripts. Instead, Herzog writes scenarios which are like a hybrid of film, fiction, and prose poetry." — Film International
