"Herzog, Werner"
Mar-16-00, 10:01 PM (GMT-5)

(hair'-tsohk) Werner Herzog is the professional name of Werner H.
Stipetic, b. 1942, a German filmmaker known for his eye for remote, exotic
scenery and his attraction for extremes of character: the mad Amazon
explorer Aguirre (Aguirre, the Wrath of God, 1973); the mute isolate Kasper
Hauser (The Mystery of Kasper Hauser, 1975); dwarfs and midgets (Even
Dwarfs Started Small, 1970); or men in the grip of obsession (Fitzcarraldo,
1982). Herzog writes the screenplays for all of his films. His large
output includes a number of documentaries, the most admired of which have
been Land of Silence and Darkness (1971), about the life of a blind, deaf
woman; and La Soufriere (1977), a portrait of an abandoned region near a
smoldering volcano in Guadaloupe.

Times Magazine, July 10, 1977.
