In this second volume of his scenarios, the peerless filmmaker’s genius for invention is on clear display. Written in Herzog’s signature fashion—more prose poem than screenplay, transcribing the vision unfolding before him as if in a dream—the four scenarios here (three never before translated into English) reveal an iconoclastic craftsman at the height of his powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong with his template for the film poem \u003ci\u003eFata Morgana\u003c\/i\u003e (1971), this volume includes the scenarios for Herzog’s first two feature films, \u003ci\u003eSigns of Life\u003c\/i\u003e (1968) and \u003ci\u003eEven Dwarfs Started Small\u003c\/i\u003e (1970), along with the hypnotic \u003ci\u003eHeart of Glass\u003c\/i\u003e (1976). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a brief introduction, Herzog describes the circumstances surrounding each scenario, inviting readers into the mysterious process whereby one man’s vision becomes every viewer’s waking dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Werner Herzog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53615106720124,"sku":"9781517904418","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781517904418_2f668c17-3731-4fcd-b72a-39db2633b329.jpg?v=1726475039","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/scenarios-ii","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
