Who are his key influences? Where does he find his peculiar themes and characters? What role does music play in his films? How does he see himself in relation to the German past and in relation to film history? And how did he ever survive the wrath of Klaus Kinski? Herzog answers these and many other questions in twenty-five interviews ranging from the 1960s to the present. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Critics and fans recognized Herzog's importance as a young German filmmaker early on, but his films have attained international significance over the decades.
