Kristoffer Hegnsvad is a writer and documentary filmmaker, and the Film & TV editor and critic at Dagbladet Politiken, Denmark's biggest daily newspaper. He is the director of Looking for Exits: Conversations with a Wingsuit Artist (2015) and Laamb (2013).
Solitary searcher and skillful self-promoter Werner Herzog is an artist whose cinematic visions, fictional or not, are invariably documentaries about himself. Curious and awed, his erudite sometime student Hegnsvad reveals a recondite Herzog personality no less fascinating than his films. --J. Hoberman, author of Film After Film Hegnsvad's book is a breathtaking and beautifully illustrated journey through Herzog's many conquests. It is meant for anyone who wants to know what goes on at the Rogue Film School or acquire insight into the director's exploits without having to drag a ship over a mountain, walk from Vienna to Munich, or eat their own shoes. If you've ever found yourself longing to become a member of Herzog's guerrilla band of gangster priests, you will probably enjoy this book. --Brad Prager, professor of German and film studies, University of Missouri Hegnsvad has written an insightful and well-communicated book, which provides independent and new insights into Werner Herzog's films. -- Danish Arts Foundation, Ten Best Books of 2018, on the Danish edition
