Herzog was once hailed by François Truffaut as the most important director alive. Famous for his frequent collaborations with mercurial actor Klaus Kinski— including the epics Aguirre, the Wrath of God and Fitzcarraldo, and the terrifying Nosferatu—and more recently with documentaries such as Grizzly Man, Cave of Forgotten Dreams, and Into the Abyss, Herzog has built a body of work that is one of the most vital in post-war German cinema.

Here, he reflects on his legendary and inspiring career.
