Herzog's Cinematic Odyssey: Unveiling Ecstatic Truth

In my thesis, I explored Werner Herzog's concept of 'ecstatic truth' and its influence on his filmmaking. Rather than aiming to capture reality as it is, Herzog seeks to uncover deeper truths through his films. He challenges the essence of Cinema Verité, encouraging filmmakers to use craft, vision, and style in pursuit of capturing an ecstatic truth. By blending documentary and fiction techniques in unconventional ways, Herzog brought a new approach to cinema inspired by the likes of Walter Benjamin, Dante Alighieri, and Hieronymus Bosch. Through analysis of Herzog's works, I aimed to present 'ecstatic truth' as a practical approach in the ever-changing landscape of filmmaking, emphasising its relevance and potential for transformative storytelling.
