Of Walking In Ice
A poetic meditation on life and death, by one of the most renowned and respected film-makers and intellectuals of our time.
In November 1974, when Werner Herzog was told that his mentor Lotte Eisner, the film historian and critic, was dying in Paris, he set off to walk there from Munich, âin full faith, believing that she would stay alive if I came on footâ. Along the way he recorded what he saw, how he felt, and what he experienced, from the physical discomfort of the journey to moments of rapture. It is a remarkable narrative â part pilgrimage, part meditation, and a confrontation between a great German Romantic imagination and the contemporary world.
