Werner Herzog

What makes a Werner Herzog film a Werner Herzog film

Across 15 films, they run much more strangeness, somewhat more spirituality and somewhat less energy than films in general. Their films resemble each other more than chance would account for, though not unusually so.

The line down the middle is the average film. A bar to the right means more of that reading than films in general, to the left less. Drawn from every film of theirs in the catalogue, not a selection.
