LOS ANGELES - One of the most famous film-makers on the planet, Werner Herzog, is also one of the most eccentric, known for a larger-than-life persona that is as quirky as his movies.
The latter include the acclaimed historical drama Aguirre, The Wrath Of God (1972), about a band of explorers' descent into madness; and the Oscar-nominated Encounters At The End Of The World (2007), a documentary on the physical and psychological extremes of living on Antarctica.
