Individual film directors, film-makers; Film movie scripts & screenplays; Film movie production: technical skills

Werner Herzog doesn't write traditional screenplays; he writes fever dreams brimming with madness, greed, humor, and dark isolation that can shift dramatically during production—and have materialized 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.

Reviews for Scenarios: Aguirre, the Wrath of God; Every Man for Himself and God Against All; Land of Silence and Darkness; Fitzcarraldo

A compulsively readable, probing collection. It's equal parts challenging and satisfying, infuriating and enlightening. --Publishers Weekly Herzog seems to peer nonstop into the abysm 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 are vividly described, albeit in long, medium and close shots. --Shepherd Express
