It’s Werner Herzog’s birthday today and I’m sure that someplace in Malibu ar whatever outpost of civilisation he is currently in, Werner is telling all within shouting distances that “Birthdays are an abomination”.
In honour of the man, who is one of my great heroes and a true soldier for cinema, here is a bunch of his films that you can watch online. I’ve collated them all so you don’t have to
