Summary:
"These six films, made during Werner Herzog's formative years between 1968 and 1982, established his reputation as the most daring, visionary and powerful filmmaker of our time. They include: Signs of Life (1968, 86 mins.), the surreal war drama and Herzog's first feature made when was only 22; Even Dwarfs Started Small (1971, 90 mins.), where the director lets the inmates take control of the asylum; The enigma of Kasper Hauser (1974, 109 mins.), the harrowing story of a wild idiot savant that won the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival; Heart of Glass (1976, 103 mins.), a mesmerizing Bavarian folk tale performed by a cast under hypnosis; Stroszek (1977, 90 mins.), a melancholy saga of the failed American dream; and Where the Green Ants Dream (1982, 96 mins.), an Aboriginal tale of survival against voracious uranium miners"--Container.
