Werner Herzog: Germany's wild man of cinema is back

Werner Herzog, renowned for his unconventional filmmaking style, has returned with his latest film, 'Bucking Fastard,' which premiered at the Venice Film Festival. The film follows two synchronized sisters, Jean and Joan Holbrooke, who attempt to dig a tunnel to reach the mythical Orkney Islands, inspired by real-life twin sisters from the 1980s. Herzog draws parallels between this film and his earlier works like 'Fitzcarraldo,' highlighting themes of grandiose dreams and pushing boundaries. The film features Hollywood actors Kate and Rooney Mara, who portray the sisters with remarkable synchronicity. Herzog continues to explore narratives centered around individuals living at the fringes of human experience.
