Werner Herzog s memoir reveals a grizzly life all too real to be concerned with anything abstract

Being Werner Herzog, or just working with him, may be an occupational hazard. In his baroquely titled new memoir, Every Man for Himself and God Against All, the German filmmaker describes almost dying many times. His casts and crews fare little better: A single production in the Amazon suffered an attack by hostile tribesmen who near-fatally gored several crew members with 6-foot-long arrows, a poisonous snake bite, and two plane crashes, one of which left someone paraplegic. The bitten man, knowing he had only a minute before the venom reached his heart, amputated his own leg with a chainsaw. Those wounds used the last anesthetic, so when an accident split a cameraman’s hand, a prostitute soothed him by holding his head between her breasts. One of Herzog’s star actors, the notorious Klaus Kinski, once started shooting at colleagues with a rifle. Thankfully, the only casualty was a finger.
