Renowned for his prolific, fearless filmmaking, Werner Herzog is in fact nothing if not a polymath: Opera director , guerrilla film-school proprietor , diarist and author , septi-continental gadabout , and actor for hire (among other interests). It’s this latter quality that he and I discussed briefly today as he made the rounds for his new capital-punishment doc Into the Abyss — a diametric opposite to the biggest onscreen gig he’s taken to date.
