a passion for unveiling truths about nature and existence by blurring the line
between reality and fiction, Werner Herzog is undoubtedly one of cinema’s most controversial
and enigmatic figures. Audiences the world over have marveled at his uniquely
moving, often disturbing, but always awe-inspiring stories, and his ever-growing
body of work has inspired an untold number of filmmakers. He is, and continues
to be, the most daring filmmaker of our time.

vanguard, Shout! Factory will release Herzog: The Collection on July 29th,
2014. Limited to 5,000 copies, the 13-disc box set features 16

Herzog
has taken his camera to parts of the world no other director would dare go, and
told stories in ways previously unconsidered. These sixteen masterpieces, which
blur the line between "fiction" and "documentary,"
illustrate why Werner Herzog is the most intrepid, creative, and dangerous
filmmaker of our lifetime.
