"Cinema resists, somehow, people who just approach it with their brains."

Werner Herzog talks about searching for new images and trying to find different perspectives in his work and in his ongoing examination of the human condition. He also speaks about how where the new wave of German directors that appeared in the 70s, fit into the nation's cinematic history.
