Nomad: In the Footsteps of Bruce Chatwin

Werner Herzog turns the camera on himself and his decades-long friendship with the late travel writer Bruce Chatwin, a kindred spirit whose quest for ecstatic truth carried him to all corners of the globe. Herzog’s deeply personal portrait of Chatwin—illustrated with archival discoveries, film clips, and a mound of “brontosaurus skin”—encompasses their shared interest in aboriginal cultures, ancient rituals, and the mysteries stitching together life on earth.
