“Werner Herzog's narratives and documentaries — not to mention the documentaries about the narratives — straddle the boundary between metacinema and the uncomfortably mundane, where strange epiphanies and unexpected catharses seize audiences in the unlikeliest of scenes. The iconic auteur of over 60 imaginative, cerebrally driven films, Herzog appears in person at the Egyptian Theatre to introduce a double feature of Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) and Cobra Verde (1987) March 20, and Stroszek (1977) and Woyzeck (1978) March 21.”

Director Werner Herzog In Person
STROSZEK, 1977, Werner Herzog Film, 115 min. Dir. Werner Herzog. Bruno S., the troubled street singer from Herzog’s EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF AND GOD AGAINST ALL, returns and travels from Berlin to the wide open spaces of Wisconsin in an effort to start a new life. Unfortunately, he finds only incomprehensible absurdity.
WOYZECK, 1978, Werner Herzog Film, 82 min. Dir. Werner Herzog. Klaus Kinski gives a characteristically intense performance as the title character, a common man whose oppression drives him to insanity and murder. In German with English subtitles. Discussion in between films with Werner Herzog
