Over the past year, Werner Herzog has been quite busy, as usual.
The down-to-earth visionary director put the finishing touches on "The Bad Lieutenant" (which starred Nicolas Cage) and it was released to positive reviews.
In the wake of that commercial success in the American marketplace, Herzog was invited to head up a panel of Judges to preside over the prestigious Berlin Film Festival.
In spite of the high-profile nature of his work, the humble auteur finds the time during leisure hours to appear at local independent theatres to share his wealth of experience with up-and-coming filmmakers - who are simply blown away - when they have the good fortune to meet Herzog and engage in a meaningful dialogue on the subject of film.
On a couple of occasions, I dashed over to the New Beverly Cinema to participate in one of those insightful Q & A sessions in Hollywood.
At a screening of - "Encounters at the End of the World" - I found Herzog to be at the height of his game.

A short while later, the charismatic European delighted fans when he appeared for a signing at a popular book store in WeHo on Sunset Boulevard.
